Desert rain

Surprise!  Surprise!  Rain!

Last night I wake to the tinkling of rain on the roof.  The clouds shrouding the moon at bedtime gave me plenty of warning.  So did I put away the dog bed and my two nifty, cloth camp chairs that I paid a wad for last year at Quartzsite?  Noooo. 

I get out of bed and step outside in the gentle rain.

Such a beautiful night!  The desert scent is strong.  I fold up the chairs and put them in the PTV, along with the damp dog bed.  One thing I like about desert living is rain doesn’t last long. (Yeah, genius.  That’s why it’s the desert!)  Everything will dry out in the morning.

And it did or it does…

Boy, when I jump around in time on this blog it gets confusing what tense I’m supposed to be in. 

Although today is dry, the cloud cover is thick making for a very dark day in southern Arizona.  After several attempts to handle email, respond to comments, and take care of other online stuff, I realize the output on my batteries is greater than the input.  (Took you long enough, RVSue.)

My dedication to this blog surprises me.

How dedicated am I?  Well, dedicated enough to drive into Ajo, go into the town library, and write a blog post here.  I have to stay connected!
