Enjoyed a wicked monsoon storm last night, the first this season. It was a doozy with high winds, booming thunder, lightening skipping sideways across the hills and mountaintops, and much-needed torrential rainfall. We even lost power for a couple of hours. We saw a lot of landscape damage and downed trees during our 5AM walk, but it was so unbearably humid, I think we’re done with that exercise for a while. For the next couple of months we are truly prisoners of our house.
