Ready to kick August to the curb

Update on shower/tub doors...HD replaced the broken one and J was able to finish the job. I will admit we were both nervous while he hung the 2nd door.  We were traumatized by the explosion and are worried sick it might happen again with someone in the shower. I realize this is similar to the fear I had getting back on a horse after my fall. The chances of it happening again are slim and bottom line it looks much better.

Our other news is the big monsoon storm we had pass thru. WHooey! It was a doozy and we are still cleaning up around the hood. Thanks Ivo for stopping by!
Our pool overflowed into rose garden and rocks...coming about 2 ft from our bdrm door. This is bark floating in pool. Yuck!

Dry rock basin in front of our house

Grass park located across from entrance to Hidden Canyon
Washed out banks with exposed sprinklers. Grace checking it out and our house across street.
Tree down and yard in street!

Water came off mtn in force and washed rocks etc into street.

We needed a double rainbow after this!

With a sunset like this all was forgotten.
So today we are still drying out in the yard and our bathroom is ready for our next guest which will be Rande tomorrow.The storm and sitting water has definitely made our humidity unbearable. Soo ready for our trip and a change of scenery. This has been a difficult summer for sure.
Thanks for dropping by~

  2. Crazy aftermath! This was the weekend I was out of state, I think, but we didn't get nearly as much rain. Benefits of living in a concrete heat island, I guess?

  3. Wow! I can't believe the damage the water did! Crazy to have that in the desert.
