When we get rain in the Sonoran Desert, we get excited. When we get monsoon rain, I grab my video camera.
The first monsoon deluge is always a welcome relief after weeks and weeks of dry summer weather with daily three-digit high temperatures (38+C.).
This deluge was particularly welcome. Some months ago I uncovered and opened up four culverts under the driveway. They had been blocked for as long as we have lived here. When we had heavy rains, a large lake formed on the north side of the driveway. My plan was to restore the creek flowing from the roof of the house down into the gully on the south side of the driveway, into Coat Hanger Valley.
The plan worked.
