Rain in the Desert

Who would have thought that I would be excited to see rain?  But out here, with the empty skies and the palm trees and the huge clouds, and the thunder and lightning - it's fabulous!  For those of you who know the layout of the place in Palm Springs, they have closed the road over the wash, as it is flooded - who knew I had waterfront property? - and so we go in and out the back way.  (I tried to get a picture, but you can't really tell the water from the sand.  Just imagine......)
