Heat Report

We don't see many clouds during Arizona summer so had to share our beautiful sunrise from this morning.  It was about 5:30 when I came outside for our morning coffee.  Beautiful sky and only 86 degrees.  I miss the nice COOL mornings.


When you get a close look, you can tell that the palm trees are done blooming.  Now they just shed their flower petals.  Help is on the way as the tree trimmers will be around soon.  In the meantime, those of us here utilize brooms and dust pans.  It's just part of living with beautiful palm trees.


A special thank you to the men who keep our pools so nice and clean!  



And to the men who face challenges in keeping the grass mowed.


Back to the continuing saga of our ailing air conditioner.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  It's sort of like a teenager I guess.  We're managing to stay in our house at a mostly comfortable temperature thanks to a hard-working dedicated Tri-Cor employee named Sean.

Friday night we watched the temperature go up and up inside the house.  We left a recording at Tri-Cor.  Sure enough, Sean showed up at 6:15a.m. Saturday morning to get us back up and running again.



With that wall behind the house, it certainly doesn't give him much room to work.  It will be interesting to see how they remove the unit and bring in the new one when it arrives.  Will keep you posted.

Again, I want to thank the thoughtful folks who invited us to shelter in their homes if needed.  So far we haven't had to evacuate.  👏👌
There isn't any relief in site for cooler temperatures. Check those morning lows in the upper 80s.  That's definitely why we get up before sunrise to complete outdoor chores.

The heat isn't affecting the cats.  Mouse looks quite content up in his tree.

Our Chef's special this week will be pastrami sandwich & fries.  YUM!
