What a difference a year makes

We were told by the weatherman that a year ago today the day's high was 85 degrees.  Today's high was lucky to have reached 50 degrees.  It was rain, rain, and more rain.  For the first time, we actually saw the rivers (large washes) with water running in them along with a lot of street closures.  The plus side to all this moisture is that the desert is primed for lots of blooms this spring.  

Rick, Y, John, and I had scheduled our Christmas luncheon for today so that is why we ventured out and about in the bad weather.  Rick and Y were going up to Casa Grande to visit friends on Wednesday so that is why we stuck to our plans as Thursday is packing day.  We all leave on Friday for our respective destinations.  We will be heading west and Rick and Y will be heading east; oddly enough, we will be traveling roughly the same distances.
