Sunday began with the discovery of a dinner plate-sized rattlesnake snuggled under a juniper in the front yard. Probably a western diamondback-- didn't see the tail but his wide "grin" gave him away. (The head of a bullsnake is hardly wider than the body.) This is their mating season, so not unusual to see them out and about, and a good reminder to watch where one steps.
Then a worship service and picnic in the mountains, followed by the return of our monsoon. A good rain and rainbow last evening, showers continuing off and on this morning... welcome relief from the dry heat and unseasonable drought.
Nice to sit at my desk by the open window listening to the sound of water in the desert.
