&nbsp;

We were out walking with Kim C. and her dogs and...

&nbsp;

Wet stuff dripped down from the sky.

&nbsp;

Yes, actual RAIN.

&nbsp;

This is a rare occurrence when you live in the desert.

&nbsp;

In fact, it is so rare that we celebrate when it rains.  We revel.

&nbsp;

We continue to walk our dogs and care less about getting wet.  Even Little Miss B -- who normally flees like a madwoman from the bath -- seemed to enjoy herself.

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #339966; font-size: medium;"><strong>Added bonus: </strong></span> When you live in the desert and it starts to rain, the smell of <a href="http://phoenix.about.com/cs/desert/a/creosote.htm"><strong>creosote</strong></a> fills the air.  Ahhhh...

&nbsp;

"A Walk in the Rain" had not been officially entered into <a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/03/31/day-183-were-at-the-halfway-mark/" target="_blank"><strong>My Book of Secrets</strong></a> (aka List of Ideas for this <a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/365-or-bust/" target="_blank"><strong>365 project</strong></a>), but "Kiss in the Rain -- Like in the Movies!" is in there.  Kim C. and I won't be kissing anytime soon, and Little Miss B doesn't count.

&nbsp;

With Monsoon Season rapidly approaching, I'm wondering if I'll check that one off my list this summer.
