Rain = lots of green !

Storms are blowing in with a vengeance. Several days of raining all day, The earth is completely saturated especially in the fire area, lots black runoff.






The hills are turning green.  Lots of scrub brush,  Ponderosa Pine, Pinion, Mesquite, Palo Verde growing back. The Sahuaros, Prickly Pear and Barrel if burned unfortunately are destroyed and can't grow back.




Floofie Face !





How can this be comfortable ?
Agatha is now on drug therapy with trazodone and prozac we get to try and figure out what works for her, she really need help.
Winston will be getting trazodone for now for his anxiety at meeting other dog and people. He is just so crazy happy  to play with them that he get overexcited.

I need drugs lots of drugs for everything,  just toss them at me.

Square Dog Friday. Thunder and Lighting !

Bad bad bad week. 

AC not fixed till Wednesday. Much to hot for me plus the worst was yet to come. 

Thursday morning at 7:30 a storm blew in  over the Catalinas (picture below) and dropped a huge amount of rain. At 8 am the thunder and lighting hit right above my home. The boom and crack was deafening.  Blew out and fried the modem.  Knocked out all  the internet/computer. Woe.

I can't really complain we need the rain but we could use less thunder and lighting !





iwinston did not understand the deafening noise but was ready to jump in and battle.and
battle the monster.

Agatha ran for any space she could find.

The last 4 years we have a very quiet monsoon but this year all hell has broken out. Storms every day loud crashing storms and the lighting strikes have been overwhelming. 
The Vaisala Company (Tucson) detects  real time storms and lighting data world over.  Our weather maps shows the amount of strikes and where they are happening.

Agatha is so exhausted from all these storms. 
 
Some rain and the desert greens up and plants bloom.


Always on patrol !


Some pretty for the start of the weekend.

Square Dog Friday, Oh No !

It has been one of those weeks.

The storms have been loud and scary.  Agatha was not happy.

AC went out on the Eastside of the home thank goodness my handiman fixed it in 5 days two different parts had to be ordered. Every AC service is swamped in Tucson. The AC on the westside of the house was still working so we could sleep at night.  I spent much of my time there with the gud dugs.



                 Storms are smashing into Tucson Foothills, my home is right in the middle left.

This was a huge storm that stalled over my home. Smashed over this area and then slowly moving on. Since then we have had several storms hitting in my area.

The First Nation People who lived here, Summer rains are called Male Rains, very destructive and Winter rains are called Female Rains gentle nourishing. 

  

Some summer clouds.
