The Joy of Rain

As we were preparing to leave a farewell gathering for our friend Sarah (off to BYU), it started to rain. And then as we drove home it started to POUR!! It was wonderful!! There was lightning all around us...beautiful, bright lightening! Rain is such a scarce thing around here, and lightning storms so beautiful, that they often draw people out of there homes...to watch, and marvel, soak in the moisture, and breathe in the clean, refreshing smell of rain. Lightening storms are near the top of the list of reasons I love Arizona.....and one of the many wonders of nature that truly bring me joy.
