Smells Like Rain, Sounds Like Freedom

Temperatures around here hit a high of 103 last week.  It's been hot, sunny and typical.  But not today. 

Today, there are thick, heavy clouds of varying shades of gray stacked one upon the other.   Today, there is a crisp and steady wind that is moving through my trees and bushes creating an ever changing melody of movement.  Today, the rain is coming down in spurts, sometimes thick, heavy drops and sometimes needle sharp.  And today, the fighter jets from nearby Luke AFB are out practicing in the weather that is so very different from normal.

Today is my very favorite kind of day here in Arizona.
