Monday post about what is going on around my home in Tucson.
A quiet weekend except for 2 minutes.
Our monsoons have been strange this year, not enough storms dropping through.
Sunday afternoon I hear booming thunder and I think some rain is possible.
No such luck just thunder and a 2 minute wind storm blew through.
Since I am up on a hill I get the wind full force.
The wind took three chimney tops/spark abatement off, I heard them being pushed back and forth on the roof. Two umbrellas wiped out a cactus, I wanted to re-pot it anyways because of pack rat damage.
Chair cushions flung about. and some tree branches here and there.
Not much damage just a lot of noise.
What I really wanted was some rain.

DeletePoor cactus!
ReplyDeleteThe dogs, all of them, are of course spoiled puppies!
What Spoiled ? Spoiled you say ?
DeleteWow, what an action packed day. The dogs are cute. Sorry about the wind damage.
ReplyDeleteAction packed 2 minutes at lest
DeleteI'm glad you didn't end up with more damage.
ReplyDeleteThe pics of the dogs are all adorable--especially the close-up on Hamish!
Monsoon winds can be tricky
DeleteThat last photo is of Dr. Watson
Took off the chimney tops? With all of your wind I would think that they should be stuck down pretty well or you would have lost them earlier.
ReplyDeleteThey have been repaired 4 times !
DeleteGood grief, such crazy weather, we are so ready for some rain!
ReplyDeleteThe sidewalk art is really sweet, how fun for everyone. :)
I live in the foothill by the Ventana and lots of the storms pass us by. But my goodness we have had so little rain this summer.
DeleteI, too, feel sorry for the cactus. And yet, it makes for a very interesting photographic subject.
ReplyDeleteHow strange we should both post about chalk on paving!
ReplyDeleteSeems to me there has been freak weather round the world.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect place for Mia to play hopscotch. It's complicated to explain but just involves drawing squares in the shape of a plane, numbered 1 to 8. Then Mia throws a pebble in one of the squares, starting at 1 and then hops round the others and then throws to 2 and so on. You can always google:)
