we've had a great august "monsoon" season this year, lots of rain and not lots of dust. we've had our fair share of dust only storms, which are awful but we also had lots of needed rain and lower temps! it's been a couple years since we've had such a moderate summer. yeah! below is a small sampling of stormy skies and a very clean courtyard (cushions mainly) thanks to a few very hard rains. grateful.
