Blustery

Blustery is a lovely word, sort of old fashioned,  and brings to mind Winnie the Pooh books.  

But that's also a great word to describe our weather today.  When I left for home, the ends were at 28mph with gusts up to 40mph. The skies were grayish brown full of dusty particles.

And then came the rain. And lightning. And thunder.  Talk about blustery!  But here in the Valley of the Sun,  these things move through pretty fast.  Three hours later, and there's a light breeze tinkling my wind chimes.  The ground is damp, and boy does wet desert smell good!  

Skies should be clear and blue tomorrow again unless the clouds stick around for a bit. 

On a different note, when I left this morning, I noticed my back gate was open.  I never use the gate, its difficult to open so I got a little concerned.  Guess I need to put a lock on the gate for peace of mind.  Maybe it was just neighborhood kids.

Beautiful!!!!!!
