Monsoons

Now when I moved to AZ 9 years ago, I first heard about the monsoons. I heard what horrible storms they were and how you had to be prepared for them. I must confess I just thought that they were big thunderstorms like in New Mexico. But evidently not, because after 9 years people run programs on the weather channel about all the damage they can (and do) cause.

So, this year I decided to get prepared and trim the trees as I don't need any tree limbs falling on my roof or on my car. These are pictures of before. Notice the saw: wonder who got that stuck there? Must have been my neighbor who trimmed his side of the tree (on his property of course) but not mine.

Well, here is the after:
