Week 4

Week 4

It started off as a really cold week and then warmed up beautifully, we even had two days without wind and 80 degree weather. However, our well pump went out and so we were left pulling a pump and replacing it. Unfortunately due to the nature of being do-ourselves people and knowing how, I was busily running around helping my husband and not carrying my camera. I'm sad that I wasn't able to get any shots, but I will definitely not forget the rusty red water that came out when we purged it after replacing our new pump. It would have been awesome, but hopefully these will do.

Our area has had a very high snow pack this year and so out of concern for flooding I've been prepared just in case we had to suddenly leave. To relieve my worries about the local dam breaking and sweeping our home away my husband took us up to Palisades Dam for a Sunday drive. The flow was high coming out of the dam and my husband took us to the reservoir instead of the flow.

Thing 1 found an awesome blue looking rock. Okay, it was more blue than the rest of the gray rocks. He was going to keep it, and decided to throw it in the reservoir. Ooops, that's okay.

A lot of cool driftwood(?). I not sure if that's the right term because it's not an ocean. Anyhow, the mountains were beautiful in the background.
