SUMMER HEAT HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!

 We started the month of June off with a visit from our granddaughter and her husband. They were in AZ for a wedding and their children were staying with Grandpa and Grandma while they went to Prescott for the wedding. As I am typing they are on their way moving from ID to OR. 

                      




Larry has been busy wiring up the solar panels so we can utilize the


solar we are producing. He still has more things to do but is slowly


getting it done. It doesn’t help that summer has finally hit so he


has been working at night when it is cooler.


 June has been surprisingly cool for Phoenix.


                            




Todd visited several times this month which we love. He even

brought us breakfast one morning!




For Father's Day,



 our wonderful daughter-in-law LaTia, made lasagna, Dawn made



salad and garlic bread and I baked a cake and bought ice cream so 



we had a really special Father's Day!



Vince, Shane and Milli went for a swim but the water was still kind of



chilly as the nights have been really nice and doesn't allow the



water to heat up like usual.

Two of our A/C units quit so we quickly ordered new fan motors as


we cannot be without A/C in Phoenix in the summer!


Larry is having a hard time with the heat now (he used to like the


heat) so in order for him to get on top of the MH to repair the A/Cs


we took the big fan with a mister and hoisted it up in the air so it 


would blow on him while he worked.  He told me I had a really


good idea with the fan as he would not have been able to stay


on the roof to fix the A/C 's had it not been for the fan.  When I


moved the fan I discovered 13 quail eggs under it.  I have  not 


seen a mama quail but when the air temp. is 100º or more she does


not need to sit on the eggs.  Just at night when it is below 100º.


I've been keeping an eye on the eggs and will keep you posted.




                                 


                              

We've been enjoying okra, squash and just recently cherry 


tomatoes out of the garden.

                            





We ended the month with 113º predicted for the very near future!!
