Since Friday, we’ve been smothered in a smog of cloudy effluent. There have been two large fires raging in the area just outside of town. Medical Lake to the west has been under an evacuation order as has Elk, to the north. Over 200 buildings have been lost and at least one death.
The acrid smell of smoke has hung in the air for several days.
Yesterday, it rained. According to the rain gauge in my yard, we got four tenths of an inch. The Weather Service says we got .39” so I say that’s a good confirmation.
Today the sun is back and the forecast calls for a pleasant 72°.
Susan had a colonoscopy yesterday so we did nothing but deal with that. That’s my way of saying we have done nothing more on the kitchen since Saturday when I finished installing the pendant light over the island, which we really love. The light in the kitchen now is quite illuminating.
I am contacting Shaun today to get back into his schedule so we can get going on the floor.
In the meantime, we are continuing to enjoy and marvel at the modern convenience of a sink and a gas cooktop, as well as the other improvements we’ve made to the kitchen. It makes the six months we went without worth the sacrifice. Almost!
