The Storm

We are in the middle of monsoon season, which is another thing we love about living in AZ - it is super hot and then all of a sudden BOOM you got storms and lightning - which is amazing to see. I should have guessed it when it felt great out earlier this evening - all the kids were outside hanging with their friends at 7pm when the storm started to roll in. Stevan said that he saw it driving in from Tempe - you could see the dark clouds forming. Well I am not much of a photographer - I need Nettie to help me with that....but I took some photos of the house and you can see the dark sky behind us


Then you look to the left - down by Lisette and Devin's house and you see this


and then to the right.....yes it is coming


and then here are some strikes - this is looking from the patio to the side of the house - the dog-run is right here and they got let out to sleep on the patio tonight..it is probably going to be a wet one. Like I said I suck so just imagine the strikes a little better..and a lot more of them. It looks like it is snowing - but I believe it is the wind kicking up dust or something....



For those living in AZ this is no big deal - we see this on a regular basis - but for our CA friends....this is what you are missing out on. We love this!!!!
