Yep, ol' monsoon has pulled the clouds over our eyes a few times this summer, but it's mostly all rumble and no rain here in Northern NM. I'm real worried about the chile crop, myself.

Yes, fecund after these last monsoon downpours. I love your descriptive fecund and it's even fecund up here at 9,200'+, for now. The monsoon is totally a trickster since farmers on the Great Sage Plain didn't get what they needed with all this rain and the McElmo Canyon farmers did. Not much straight line distance between those fields. I'm looking at the Pleasant View bean fields right now with several tall red dust devils spinning hundreds of feet high. Thank you for this article.
