When I was a little girl my mother used to lay down with me at night, rub my back, and help me transition into a peaceful place where I could fall asleep. One of the games she made up involved imagining we were floating on clouds. We would take turns choosing what color cloud we would float on each evening. I often think of those times when I see a sunset where the clouds turn colors. However, the other evening as we made a trip to Home Depot to get parts for the bathroom sink I saw a sight that put a new twist on the colored clouds idea. Because we are in the monsoon season in Arizona we have seen a lot of rain storms on the horizon and watched numerous lightning displays. This particular rainstorm occurred in the west just as the sun was setting. The conditions were just right and there it was...Pink Rain!
