Rain, Rain, DON'T go Away....

We have been blessed with a lot of rain the past few days. Now to those of you that live in the South, that may not be a big deal. But, in the high desert, where fire danger is always a concern, we get excited about even the smallest amount of rain. It provides more moisture than snow if we get enough (Last year at this time it was snowing...weird!) It started raining Saturday, complete with lots of thunder and lightning. The storm will let up for a few hours, then start again, which has been the pattern for a few days now. Hopefully it'll continue for a few more days as predicted because then the fire danger goes down. When it's wet, Rob is okay with BBQing, which I get excited about. (I am hoping to BBQ shish-kabobs tonight). The only bummer part is that Rob got called out last night because of the storm. He worked 23 hours straight and is just now on his way home to sleep for the day. He makes REALLY good money when this happens but I'm sure it's not fun for him. So, the rain has it's pros and cons. It's nice to see everything so green and fresh right now, but not everyone gets to enjoy it the way I do!
