I think it was in '07 when we got rain rain rain rain rain. I loved it. I didn't have roses at that time (hadn't been bite by the rose-bug yet), and I'm naturally a skeeter magnet, but to have that much rain was a blessing out here. I miss rain so much.. when I lived in NY it rained all the time & I love the water. The smell of it, the feel of it in my hair, how it naturally makes everything sooooooooo much greener... not like this dusty desert here. Humidity is rarely a problem here due to the altitude. There's a Winter Weather Advisory in the mountains right now.. above 7000ft (I don't qualify... I sit at about 6000ft) are supposed to see between 2-5" of new snow. Hey, any moisture is GOOD moisture!
