“Thunderstorm forecast in Borrego Springs, CA for the next two days”, according to Weather Underground at that time. An initial wall of dust swept the valley, and then came rain! Everything in the arid desert came alive, as if somebody threw an invisible “On” switch. We saw a family of quails scurrying across the wash. Woodpeckers appeared on a nearby tree. The smell of sand and creosote permeated the air. A rainbow appeared, draped across the mountains in the distance. We ran outside and felt the warm rain on our faces.
