Wacky, crazy weather every afternoon has left me confused. Exactly what state do I live in? (and I'm not talking about my state of mind). Yesterday, it was like a monsoon and made me feel like I was back in Minnesota - really hot in the morning, getting cloudy early in the afternoon followed by thunderstorms, not to mention, humid! Poor Christine had to load her kids into the car in the worst of it (all 4 of them). She said it was clear when she got about 10 minutes away. I guess Pinon Hills is the only lucky recipient of this delightful weather.
If you read my blog you know that Adam recently finished the central swamp cooler installation. Let's just say, it wasn't completely done, but close enough. We figured, we had all summer before we had to worry about the holes in the roof it created and we also figured we had lots of time to replace the shingles we lost during the last winds we had. Well, guess not! I had a flood in my kitchen and the water followed the ducting into Erin's room. It is getting ready to rain again. Time to get out the buckets and towels and hope that toxic mold isn't forming anywhere (except the for the bathroom ceiling that I already know about). Tell me again, why did I "agree" to a fixer-upper?! Oh, another thing. Swamp coolers don't cool in the humidity. I am sooooooo looking forward to our week at the beach. I just hope we don't come home to a flooded house. Maybe a nice wildfire will come through while we are gone and destroy the place. The cats wouldn't survive but oh well, I'd get a new house! Yes, I am evil. I forgot to get a picture of the lake in the kitchen, but perhaps I will get the opportunity to take one today. On a humorous, related note, Adam's mom was able to remind me of our lovely floors, "Quick, Kim! Get a towel! The water's running into the other wall because the floors are crooked!" Nice, right? *SIGH*

This looks safe, right? Should I be standing in a puddle?
