Rain in the Desert

 

 

Yesterday morning this is what the sunrise looked like. You know that old sailors saying, "Red sky in the morning sailors take warning". Well it worked here, shortly after taking this shot it started to rain not a hard rain but just a drizzle that lasted most of the day. The TV weather watchers were out on the streets and people were saying how the rain made it feel more like Christmas, go figure. There were events canceled because of it, by the way it measured .12 inches. We drove through a storm that dropped 6 inches in a 12 hour window, now that's some rain. By the way they have had a grand total of 1.94 inches for the whole calendar year. There is a line of snow on the tops of the mountains.

Anyway we spent the day in, reading and playing games, kind of a Jammie day. We ended up ordering in a pizza so it was a really lazy day. Today we need to go to the store to buy some supplies because we move tomorrow to Desert Hot Springs for three weeks that's a drive of about 27 miles, so we won't even hook up the car. Tonight we are going to Shanghai Reds for lobster bisque, and some awesome seafood.

It has come to our attention that some folks think of us as being on "vacation", we are not. You take a vacation to get away from your everyday lives and WORK, this time of year we travel south to the more shorts and tee shirts type weather. We pretty much keep the same routines we have at the house except we have a much smaller space. So this is as comfortable and as much home to us as we are in Brush Prairie. Oh yeah I can go read my book outside in the sun ;-).

More Later,

Rich
