The Hoard

We will be moving soon. I have packed about 95% of our stuff. It is all right here in the picture. This is basically all we own. I feel like a hoarder.

Our kitchen table, bed frame/mattress, desk, coffee table and about 4 boxes worth of stuff are not in the picture...

All this for 2 adults and a dog. I guess we do live in the land of plenty and are definitely not lacking.

 

We have been busy busy busy with our new house. I will be posting pictures eventually but right now it's a bit crazy. We have had all the drywall finished, the kitchen cabinets installed, and have bought our tile. The new roof is water tight and we have had a couple of good storms blow through to test it. We had a huge flood in the state of Arizona recently and many people were stranded by high creeks and rivers as well as newly formed lakes and ponds. The nice thing about living here in Arizona is the flooding recedes almost right away and in a couple days, most of the water is completely gone.

Here is a link to the news about 1 part of Arizona:

The monsoons have brought moist muggy air, and mud. Monsoons create the perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes and they have been multiplying here rapidly lately. Most people wouldn't expect a desert to have mosquitoes, but they live here. I'm hoping that the monsoons will continue to dump and pull us out of the drought.
