Rose Red asks for this book by Megan Montague Cash to be read to her over and over again.  She is quite absorbed with it.  Today she deduced that our current season is Summer. 

Monsoon fury unleashed itself around us last night.  I love a good monsoon.  It's so dramatic.  Intense winds, cracking thunder and lightning and the long awaited downpour of cooling rain.  We opened all the doors so we could breathe in the damp and soak in the moisture.

The peace of morning after is so calming  .  .  .

although a few drops remain - reminding us of the night.

It has begun . . .

the monsoon season is upon us.  Our first storm brushed by us last night ~ mostly wind and dust down here in the valley with just a splattering of rain.

  "Pretty hot day ~ pretty hot day, mommy" she said ~ and I'd say she was quite right !  At  110 F ~ it was indeed a "pretty hot day" !

It's been heating up around here again !  Today 108 F ~ Ugh.  This is the looooongest part of our summer  ~ the dreaded delay before Fall.
