With so many leaves, the sun waves good day with many stands shines, shines the sky and those ones inn irons and those others are in the earth.
Quiet anytime now, the church bells will signal.

With just a few days left in July, Tucson has already received 5.71 inches of rain, making this the fourth-wettest July. I have recorded 7 inches on our patio in the Catalina Foothills. This amount of rain will help Southern Arizona recover from the ongoing drought, improving from a D4-exceptional drought to a D3-extreme drought (National Weather Service). There are indications that monsoon activity will start uo again toward the end of the week.
