Hi everyone~
We're celebrating this weekend! The basement is finished! Art put the finishing touches to the sauna, which we turned on last night and proved that it works:-) not that we need more heat and steam (it's been a lovely summer so far - but we need rain). We've now got about a 10 degree difference between each floor of the house.
Here's the video -
So, we can check that off our to-do list, but like everyone else, other tasks have somehow appeared on the list.
We had a fun but very short visit/lunch with Alyssa and her friend Dawn last weekend, in Vail, after their morning of mountain racing! Over 7 miles up the mountain, running/power walking, with hundreds of others - Alyssa did it in just over 90 minutes (and I'm proud of myself when I go up 4 flights of stairs at work!).
Finally, a few more shots of how pretty the poppies are this summer. That's Griffin peeking over the railing looking for the resident mouse. Without the dogs in the back yard, we've got quite a few more meadow critters who have decided they like to live under our deck - a bunny and a few mice. Beanie catches the mice - I make her drop them out of her mouth - they survive another day until the next morning ... what a rat race (hmmm).
Hope you're all having a bloomin summer!
