If you said, "The first line from the Beatles' song Rain, 1966," you get 5 bonus points. Only 5?? Yeah, we covered this in the not too distant past. Well, I guess it's been a while, since precip isn't a regular thing here in the desert.
But, it is monsoon season. And in the middle of the meeting last night, I heard a sudden downpour. For about 10 minutes. But, it did sound heavy. Caught in the meeting, I couldn't step away. Joan was watching the meeting from our house (I was in my music room) - she dashed outside and put down the patio umbrellas that were up. Wind generally comes with the rain during monsoon season.
I assume this was a very isolated storm, as no precip was predicted, and there was no mention of rain on TV this morning, or on any of the precipitation apps. But, it poured right here.
Generally, if there is precip predicted, we will cover the patio furniture or remove the cushions. That didn't happen. Joan went out when the downpour started and put down the umbrellas. When the rain quit, she stood the furniture cushions so the water could drain out of them. They were still wet at the lowest part of the cushions when I went out there this morning.
So, glad to have some rain, but it would have been nice to know it was coming. But, as in the second line of the song: "They run and hide their heads"... Joan didn't have the opportunity to run nor hide her head.
Mother Nature does what she wants.
