Pouring cats and dogs!

This week we got pounded with rain! We got more rain in our first storm on Monday (2 inches) than we did all last year (less than and inch)-and then we had rain Tuesday night, Wednesday, Thursday night and some on Friday. It was so much rain that Lyle's company shut down half of Thursday and all of Friday AND our parks turned into lakes. It was beautiful to see the 'fake' lakes and if you didn't know any better you would think the lake was always there!

We took Jaz for a walk Saturday after a full day of no rain and the park had drained a bit but there was still a good amount to water...Jaz definitely enjoyed it! She was our prancer.




The white line of grass on the right is how high the water was the other day.







Even though I really enjoyed the moisture and the cloudy days, it sure is nice to see and feel the sun again!

Oh and just for the record, the storm was so windy and crazy the other night, Scottsdale actually had a tornado touch down. When does AZ EVER get tornadoes? Or for that matter when does AZ ever get this much rain in five days? Never...until now!

That's incredible! I don't think I've ever seen that much water in AZ except when my Grampa takes his irrigation turn and floods his yard. I bet Jazz had a blast!
