Heat

 Arizona in the summer is famous for being hot. Today we thought about going to Payson, and then on to Cottonwood to see Kadizzle's sister Patty. Winky does not want to leave the mountains because of the heat at the lower elevations. Strangely our summer in Arizona has been very comfortable. It has not been too hot, and the rain every afternoon cools things down. People from Phoenix flock to the mountains to avoid the oven heat in Phoenix. 

Yesterday after another insane heavy rain Cliff and Kadizzle went down to the stream to see the effect of the rain. Not much happened. The amount of rain in the past few weeks has been phenomenal, yet the creek refuses to rise. The soil here must have an amazing capacity to soak up water. 

Today is starting out as usual with nice sunny weather and clear skies. Wait until noon, it will cloud up and rain. Just like clock work. 

The new house is progressing, so are the cost overruns. Why not a better ceiling fan?A little upgrade here, and there and soon you are broke. Then there is furniture, we sold it all in Hazen.  That will surely break the bank.  Such is life.
