We received about an inch of rain overnight, my garden looks so happy! I'm so happy! It's been a slow start to monsoon season here and yesterday was the first significant rain that we've had since May on our property. Apparently some of the land formations around us create a vortex and most of the storms go around us. My neighbor also said the canyon below us is home to some skinwalkers and they keep the storms from coming near the canyon and thus our properties above the canyon. He also told me that the wolf my husband saw on our property is actually the main skinwalker in our immediate area, but that if we're not afraid of him he can't hurt us and leaves like he did with my husband. But he did say that the skinwalkers are evil and he would tell me which caves in the canyon are safe to explore and which are the skinwalker's homes. I don't claim to understand any of the this folklore, I just accept that there are definitely things I don't understand in our world, but it was really interesting learning about some lore of the Navajo people in our direct area.
