Rain

The autumn (fall) is coming. We had rain for the first time since the beginning of the year and it is still dark at 6am. I am so sick of the dusty heat and am ready for a cold, wet winter. While driving through the desert on Saturday a few lonely drops splattered the windscreen. More mud than rain, but still a reminder that water does fall from the skies occasionally. Then yesterday we had some real showers for a short while. I went outside to look at the dark clouds rolling in from the sea. Watching the dark line slowly move eastwards I realized just how much I miss real "weather". Summer here is one long hot, humid day interrupted by short hot nights. Come on winter, do your stuff!
