Last night we got wind - but unfortunately no rain, like some parts of the Valley.  (Of course the pool needed to be cleaned out today.)  The winds knocked over the largest potted plant out front, and also the recycling can (which made a mess.)  Because irrigation was pretty much a bust this weekend we really, really, really could use some rain!

I mowed the front yard this morning (despite the early hour it was already hot and muggy, so taking a break in the pool felt wonderful ) and thus it looks better, but the lawnmower continues to make signs of giving up the ghost once and for all. Looks like a new law-mower is in our future. 

This morning I worked a bit more on the cross-stitch project (a wedding gift for my cousin's wedding in November) that will go on the road trip with us, and also whipped up an earring holder for the camper (using some old screen, leftover curtain fabric, and velcro) which I'll try out after we pick up the truck this afternoon.  


On my list for later today is to pay some bills and get some others ready for Alex to pay when they arrive during our absence.  He'll be over for dinner tonight; Tom's cooking up some of the fish he caught up in Idaho.
