The Modern Girl Friday

She's the sidekick, but she can be the whole show. She gives as good as she takes. She's one of the guys. She's all woman. She's a red-blooded, say what she wants with a twinkle in her eye, I won't take crap kinda girl.

Look Kids, Nature is Happening!

So I'm driving home from dropping off a couple friends at the airport. It is just past 5:00 p.m. and I'm grooving to my iPod. The day is what you would expect from from Arizona this time of year: HOT, sunny, scattered clouds due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Henriette.

As I get closer and closer to the humble abode that is "Chateaux de les Blancs," it begins.

Big, fat, heavy buds of...RAIN! I look at the patterned sky with it's large swaths of blue and grey. But the time I pull into our carport, the rapport is pretty deafening. I laughed as I pulled out my camera -- knowing full well I needed to document this as proof to all my non-Arizona family and friends:





Rain in Arizona...who knew, right? Ain't nature great?

How odd. I am used to seeing that during monsoon season (which was my favorite time) with the sudden downpour and lightning flashes, but this is truly odd for this time of year. I mean it would rain once in a blue moon at odd times, but never as heavy as that.

When I pulled into the carport, I knew I had to get footage!

Monsoons either cover the sky or don't happen at all here! I knew this was video worthy :-)
