Rainstorm and a new lawn
It doesn't rain a whole helluva lot in the desert but when it does...lookout. We tend to get a lot of rain all at once as evidenced by the flood on our back porch in the pics below. The water was well needed though and did a good job of brightening up our new lawn which actually makes the backyard a living space as opposed to a dead and barren piece of dirt occasionally crossed when getting to the house/other rooms/etc.
The rain was also welcomed by another group who enjoys their lawn - golfers. I, being a golfer (or at least doing an impression of one), was happy to see the course looking a little more green. Definitely helps the greens look healthier and slows them down a bit so it's not ridiculously hard to putt on them. I'd like to say that it's improved 
my game but it seems to take the same amount of strokes whether the weather is hot, cool, sunny, cloudy or..or....duststorm? Haven't had to play in one yet but I've seen a few dust devils meandering along the fairways once in a while. It's always nice when you don't have to leave town to golf and yet there's still all sorts of wildlife and scenery around.
