Monsoon season

We are in our summer monsoon season which runs from July through September. The temps are more moderate and every evening, the clouds roll in, thunder and lightning surround and showers. The wind picks up and rain or no rain, our evening temp drops approx. 20 degrees and it is very pleasant to be outside. We did get 1/4 inch of rain yesterday which was good. This is the desert, so any amount of moisture helps.

Had my annual doctor's appointment yesterday and basically what that means is that I have another year to get my meds, lol.

Here it is going on 11 am and still in the 70s with a nice breeze. Floyd just finished cutting our grass, and it smells so good. He stays busy. Yesterday he put together a little windmill for our front yard. We still have that canopy to assemble and it is going to take some time as we do move slowly, so we are waiting for Fall temps.

This week our peaches ripened and I baked a couple of pies. They were yummy. One thing about being retired, we can set our own schedule for doing things.
