This, taken before noon, is from the North Perimeter Trail, near the Mitchell Trail. We've had days and days of cloud buildup without any rain. When I finished my walk without seeing a drop, I assumed these clouds were as unproductive as all the rest. Boy, was I wrong! This afternoon, we've already had two wonderful rains in the Eastern Area. Real rains where lots of water pours down unlike our proverbial, southwestern "10" rains" - a raindrop every 10"! The first had thunder but not frighteningly overhead. The second was a heavy cloudburst with a smidgen of hail. I thought our summer monsoon had disappeared but maybe there's still hope!
