Rain? Please?

Here we are in late July in the driest year on record in Denver proper. Cole Neighborhood, with its relative lack of mature trees, grass, and other vegetation, doesn't need any help looking barren and dry. When can we expect some freakin' rain?It sprinkled today--Honest. I was out watering the grass this evening and I felt a drop--one drop--on my arm. That was it.Pretty ironic to me that I moved here from Tucson to get out of the desert heat and dryness. Here's the kind of moisture Tucson has gotten recently from their monsoon.What I wouldn't give for a rain like that in Denver to green everything up.
