Seventy days without rain in Phoenix but it’s on its way now:
The benefit was a gorgeous sunrise this morning:
The downside is that we’ve got tickets for NASCAR on Sunday. Why did it choose to rain this weekend?

AZ has some of the best sunrises and sunsets. Although you had plans, Phoenix certainly does need the rain.

We weren’t affected by the rain other than standing at the window and watching it come down in torrents on Saturday. Yes we did need the rain. It’s always funny to watch the local news after a storm. Arizonians get so excited about rain! It cheers them like sunshine does in other states.

I’d still prefer rain over snow. I don’t have to shovel rain – but it is a bummer when you have other plans 😦

We are “enjoying” torrential rain at the moment. Himself and I stood at the window as did many of our neighbors and watched water cascading off the roof. Rain is entertainment here! But it won’t be much fun tomorrow. 😦

We are having a very grey day so I hope all the rain will all come today. I enjoy the sunrises in the wintertime because they are late-ish. In the simmer I pull the pillow over my head. Who turned that bright light on at 5am? 😯

I hope you’re right! It should fizzle out by Sunday morning. We don’t want a 6 hour rain delay like Daytona!
