So I got up to investigate - and the cause for celebration was a rainy day! They were dancing in the rain - keep in mind that this is Phoenix, and we can count on one hand the amount of rainy (or cloudy, for that matter!) days we get every year. It was glorious! Generally Ron and I love west coast living, but if there's one thing I miss about back east, it's the rainy days. I'm not crazy - I don't want it to rain all the time - but I like to have nice cozy damp days sometimes.
So today I'm taking advantage! I dragged Ron out of bed and made him come sit with me on the back patio as we listened to it fall. When he set off to work, I put on some Amos Lee tunes and baked some homemade bread.
I'm grateful today for the rain - and for the fact that it doesn't rain very often, so when it does it's a special treat!
