It rained early this morning in Tucson, heavily enough that it woke me up at three-thirty. What a nice sound, lots of heavy drops on the roof! There were frequent flashes of lightning, occasionally close enough to hear the thunder. I ran outside to put mats, pillows, and a mattress under cover.
The vegetation must be happy. Chlorinated tap water from Colorado does not make things grow nearly as well as sweet rainwater. Soon we will be finding frogs in the cement pond.
April 10 was our last rainfall, so Tucson airport went 81 days without rain, tying for the fourth longest dry spell.
