It seems like Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends attract bad weather no matter where you live! As a kid, I hated it! Rain and cool weather meant the last swim day at the pool would be cancelled. But here in Arizona, the rain's a real treat!
I was so happy to hear rumbling when I awoke early Saturday morning. Despite the fact that I'm still plagued by this infernal cough, I got a burst of energy. Craig and I decided to see how many times we could loop the neighborhood on bikes before the rain hit. And that number would be about one and a half times before we were pummelled by huge drops. Back home, we took our breakfast outside onto the covered patio and relished in the moment, dreaming of past vacations on the wet northshore of Kauai where it rains everyday.

The cool humid breeze, smell of the sweet lantana, and the sound of rain on the water was downright tropical!
After breakfast, we opened the front door to look into the courtyard. Saby even decided to take a peak, but notice her ears are tucked down. She hates storms.
Craig set a bucket and water can under the drip line and they filled within minutes.
I love it! A brief break from the monotony of sun and heat! In case you're curious, we're thanking Hurricane Jimena for the weekend rain here in Arizona. And fortunately here in Arizona, the pool doesn't close on Labor Day! : )
