Hello everyone!
My apologies for not doing much in the way of writing for a while. Now that the baby is more and more active, I have even less energy and time to write.
It's monsoon season here in Arizona. For the next week or so, storms will come blowing up in the evenings because the heat bubble that has been sitting over the region for the month has boiled up the Sea of Cortez (also known as the Gulf of California) enough for it to create moisture-filled fronts which then drop rain, wind, and thunderstorms on the city.
Due to their nature, monsoon storms can be damaging. There are no shortages of downed trees, flooded washes, and power outages reported in the city when they do hit. Streets in low-lying areas are prone to flooding too. This was my street an hour or so ago:
This is what happens when you live in the floodplain of a river. The actual river itself is about a mile away, but because the surrounding area is low-laying, it floods whenever it rains. Fortunately, the swimming pool street doesn't last very long. It'll be mostly receded by tomorrow.
Thank you for reading this post and please don't forget to share, comment, and subscribe!

| Some more of the flooded street, though my somewhat cleaned up garden kinda hides the view. It was drizzling still when I took this picture |
