We are all ready for the hurricane tomorrow – who would have thought we would even be talking about it here in the desert. The rain created here by Hurricane Norbert was record breaking. Hurricane Odile will bring heavy rains over the next few days, but hopefully it won’t be as bad. Also, I hope more people are prepared and don’t get caught off guard like the last one.
Stay off the roads!

All that rain brought us a significant mosquito population. Trevor begged and begged to go outside to dig today, but the ‘squitoes were swarming.

It is hard to stay cooped up inside, so we had to think of something different to do. I filled this bin with elbow macaroni noodles and let them do their digging. It could have been a horrendous mess, but it wasn’t.

Trevor filled and dumped trucks calmly for a solid hour.

Everyone is feeling better but symptoms persist. Brendan is hanging in there. Hopefully the worst is over for him.
