IT'S RAINING.....FINALLY!! 143 days later

I woke up this morning to hear pitter-patter on the roof. Yes, it is finally raining! Today, after 143 days of record-setting dryness, rain came to the Valley of the Sun in Phoenix, Arizona. Last October was the last appreciable amount of rain but this amount of rain has not been seen here since around the first of August 2005. We expect a mild rain all day today, perfect for soaking into the ground.
