The summer monsoon rains have really made the hillside green this year. I haven't seen it this lush in quite a while. Here is a picture of our paritally completed house from the road further down the hill. I'm afraid it may look this way for a while, since it probably won't get stucco'd until we get enough things finished on the inside for us to be able to move in. The house is watertight as it is right now, but I won't rest easy until the stucco is on.
This is Thompson Peak. It is almost directly above our house to the west, although this picture was taken from several hundred yards south of our lot. It is really pretty to hike in the ravines and along these ridges, especially after all the rain we've had.
