Rainy Days

Monsoon season has finally hit and we've been getting some afternoon rains. Earlier in the summer there typically wasn't a cloud in the sky but now the clouds have been stunning. Back in New York, its very easy to see weather moving in but here you just never know what direction the storms and rain come from. Sometimes it will be rumbly and you can only see puffy white clouds. Other times it will thunder and lightning intensely then stop and begin raining and once the rain stops the thunder and lightning comes back. You just never know what you're going to get! Luckily, it hasn't really rained on the guests.

One afternoon we were up on the Pottery Mesa and some storms came along with the rain so we headed back to the truck. However our trip was not for naught as we got to observe the neighbors free range horses and mules. They were having a blast in the rain. One even had a stick in its mouth and was running around hitting the others with it. We watched them for over a half hour just laughing at their antics. One of the mules wanted nothing to do with the palomino but he just kept egging him on. It was a completely unexpected but it made our day.
