CENT Day 17 (Celebratory Empty Nest Trip)

CENT Day 17

 The DH and I obviously change weather patterns in whatever city we visit. Four to eight inches of rain is Phoenix’s normal annual precipitation. My editor, Georgia, told me yesterday that the area has already received their yearly total of rain. So guess what I saw last night???

 
An Arizona thunderstorm.
 
Yep. Par for the course on this trip. Here’s a look at the landscape today - note the lovely palm trees and the almost British gray clouds blanketing the sky.
 
 
  
And here’s another interesting tidbit - Arizona averages 325 sunny days a year.
 
We brung the rain folks.
 
And it clouds over so quickly. In the morning the sky looked like this:
 

I love Phoenix’s architecture and the way the city planners weave the natural vegetation into the landscaping like this:

 And the cacti and succulents, so many forms and shapes, and the inventive front yards!

 
 
My eyes are bugging out, and Georgia’s cooking another mouth-watering meal today, so my waistline and eyes are having a bulge competition.
 
Sigh,
 
JC
