Finally, rain. It has been all cloud and no water for more than a year. But yesterday, we had a magnificent thunderstorm that actually delivered. Lightning struck so close it made me jump for cover. The lightning map says it was almost a mile away. Not sure I believe it.

@mbkriegh We had some snow, so there was enough water for desert plants to bloom, but it was far from peak. I don't think enough fell to do more than give a sigh of relief.
