The most exciting news this week is that we had over a full inch of rain yesterday!! Henness and Cottonwood were both flooded up over the curbs. TV crews even came to Casa Grande to video the heavy rain. For once we didn't get missed. All other storms this summer seemed to break up and go around us so this rain was very welcomed.
I loved this picture in the paper of a man shielding his little girl from the rain as they left the grocery store. Cute!!
I snapped a few photos along Florence Blvd. while out on errands this morning.
Monsoon season officially ends September 30. How exciting to see a forecast that is NOT triple digits.
I reckon many of you are getting ready to return to our desert paradise soon. The golf course is getting ready for its annual scalping and reseeding so if you live on the golf course, be prepared for some dust. First they finish trimming the palm trees out on the course.
Then comes the scalping....or thatching...whatever the process is called.
This has been a great harvest for spiders so be prepared for the webs on doors, windows, and siding. I carry a big duster with me when we visit all our housewatch customers.
I highly recommend a power wash job before your arrival to get rid of these pesky creatures. Better call ahead of time though because Maldonado and the other companies are very busy this time of year.
I copied this out of our approved vendor list.
Another frequently asked question is "how do I get my internet turned back on". This is the set of instructions in the welcome back package. Maybe it will help?
The secret for the Canadians is that you must use a US phone.
