Rain and SNOW!

Well, after 143 days with no rain, the drought in Arizona is finally over! God blessed us with a nice long soaking rain beginning late Friday night and all day Saturday. And, as an added bonus, there was also snow!!!! Now for Southeast Texans, snow is a rare and exciting sight, so Stephen, the girls and I all got in the car and drove north a little ways to see it. We didn't have to drive far. We began seeing flakes almost immediately. This picture was taken just about 30 minutes away from our house. What a treat to get to see the snow on the tops of the Saguaro cactus!

On Sunday morning the rain was over, but the snow is still on the mountaintops so the view is gorgeous!

This week's forecast calls for more sun and the temperature will be close to 80 by the end of the week. Winter was short and the rain has passed, but I sure did enjoy it!
