Springs that don't go dry?

When you live in the desert, water becomes supremely important. Even with my air conditioned, motorized life style, I have deeply appreciated the plentiful downpours that we have experienced in the last couple of weeks of the Tucson “monsoon” season. I understand the Old Testament writers who described the divine as a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. The rains have offered not only thirst-quenching rain, but a relief from 100+ heat. Cloudy mornings were a welcome change, while they lasted. The weather people say the monsoons aren’t over yet. I’m hoping they’re right.
