Rainy Season

Monsoon season has started and we recieved our first few rain storms. It is a nice changeup to the heat of 110 degrees everyday. I think you appreciate the sun more if you don't have it all the time. I know I appreciated it in Finland when it was the dead of winter and I didn't see the sun for 2 months. There I also saw 22 hours of sunlight in the summer and 23 hours of darkness for a few days in the winter. I am definitely glad I live somewhere that is light for most of the year however I would like to have some seasons also. I miss the crisp cold air of winter and the first few snowstorms and I think fall is a beautiful time of year with the trees changing color. In Arizona the cactus don't turn different shades as it drops from 110 degrees to 70 degrees in the fall. I think it would be nice to be a snow bird someday and have the best of both worlds.
