Awesome deluge

To folks who don't know Utah or the Rocky Mountain West region, I always describe our weather as a two-season deal. A wet season running from November through May where we get generously snowed-in, followed by a dry, dusty period that span from June until the end of October; in other words shorts and t-shirt's weather. This year has been an exception to that rule and we've never seen such a downpour in the near quarter century we've lived in Park City. Since May 29, it's been raining every single day and abundantly at that. Our garden looks beautiful and as green as if had been transported near Seattle or parachuted somewhere in Haute-Savoie, France. Are we tired yet of all that rain? Hardly, because we know that in a few days or a few weeks, we'll be back to that “permanently boring” blue sky where you only see a few jet contrails now and then and if we're very lucky some lost strayed cumulus clouds seemingly asking for directions to a place where they can empty themselves...
