Monsoons make messes most of the time. Yesterday was no exception.I was "playing around" on the computer, minding my own business and not bothering anybody.
Charlotte hollered up from downstairs and said, "It's raining. At least it's sprinkling."
I decided to turn aside and see this thing.
I looked out the upstairs window. And yes, it was sprinkling.
I went downstairs and by then--it was raining--and blowing!
It's the day after and I have cleaned up and repaired almost everything that was messed up and broken.
Except our neighbor's tree. That big green monster of a tree is draped over our fence and in our yard. Very little of it, if any, is in their yard.
Did I mention we needed the rain--and still do?

I love the monsoons, especially the Summer ones... but I have not been hurt in any way with them. A few leaky windows and those have been repaired. I think I am having problems with a leaky sky light and my son-in-love can and hopefully will close the sky light in someday if it gets too bad. They did that to their leaky sky light and put a hanging pots and pans rack in it's place. If I had known how bright my house was going to be (I have 20 windows!) I would have had NO sky lights. They simply let the heat in. I have had them painted over on the outside and placed styrofoam (sorry, even my little electronic speller can't help me with that one) on the inside. My brother and I love to walk in the Summer rain (when there is no lightening)
Oh goodness! I really love it when it storms but the aftermath...not so much!
We need the rain badly but I won't complain as we have finally broken a 60+day of relentless HEAT and HIGH temps! You know only too well what this OK heat is like so when we get a day in the 80's rain or no rain...it's all good ;0)
Love and blessings
