The Flood Gates Have Opened

So we do get some rain here in Phoenix. We even get monsoons. But yesterday was the mother of all storms. Tony and I woke up yesterday morning with it pouring rain. It wasn't just a sprinkle here and there. It was the pouring down kind. Or as Forrest Gump describes "the big old fat rain". It would not stop. Around 6 or 7 pm Tony and I had to run an errand. I've never ever seen so much rain on the road. People were making wakes with their cars and trucks. Tony and I also started to get concerned because are pool literally filled up to the brim. In fact, as the winds came up the water started sloshing over the ide. We will have to find a way to drain part of it since its not good for a pool to flood over. Here are some pictures of our yard. Above is a picture of our back yard flooding. I felt so unmotivated yesterday. I only got dressed for about an hour so Tony and I could run to the pharmacy. I like rainy days down here. It gives you a break from the sun but that was a little too much rain for my liking.
