Sometime during the afternoon of an extremely hot day (lucky us in the library with air conditioning), we heard the rumble of thunder and waited for the welcome sound of rain. Instead the fire siren sounded and we walked, grumbling, into large but sparse drops of rain and - finally - a coolish breeze. Three fire trucks later, pointing to the dust storm as the cause of the alert, we returned to work. Driving home, it was good to wind down the windows and feel the cool air rushing in.
After dinner, I could smell the wet greenness through the open windows, so I decided to go for a walk to check out garden casualties.
Spring growth has added size to trees.
This is the only rose on the bush; the others have already bloomed and dried out. I'm happy to see the kangaroo paws starting to flower (pictured above).

I love the lush green in your photo looking out. Hope you get rain to preserve this.
ReplyDeleteSusan, we finally got a drenching rain last night. I have a feeling it will have to last us for a while.
