Can it be...RAIN?!?


Just like Lisa's inspiration to blog the past few days, it's been dry, dry, dry here in Dubai since our January floods. This morning as Lisa left school, she was stricken by how dark the sky appeared. You know how you see the sky darken...and you just KNOW it will rain? You just KNOW it's coming. Well, imagine feeling that way but only to have a sandstorm hit hours later. And sandstorms...our friends...do not include rain. :)

However, this morning there was a bolt of lightning. Then...a roar of thunder. More thunder. One raindrop...two...three...four....well, you can count them on the windshield photo above. Not much to you non-desert people...but here...this made front page news. It was a big deal. We have a polka-dotted spotted black vehicle to prove it. Lisa loves thunderstorms...not the violent "was that really a tornado" kind, but the gentle, rolling ones that occur around 3:00 on a hot summer afternoon. The kind that make the earth smell freshly scrubbed.
