RESPITE

I can't say that it has been hot here to the degree it is in so much of the rest of the country. Still, the heat that we have had...mid to upper 80s...is significant because of the lack of rain and the subsequent high desert dryness that sets us up, along with much of the West, for major fires.
Literally "out of the blue" came this little system with it's little rain that provided little serious moisture but nonetheless was greatly welcome and, in it's way, wondrous. Where did it come from and how did it manage to contain rain?
According to the forecasts next week gets mean with shocking highs of 90 degrees and the dread threat of thunder storms - translate: lightening storms. So, to me, this is a blog-able little accumulation of peach colored clouds. Thank you little clouds.
