Back from the Desert

Today is our second day home from Spokane. Here to welcome us: 96% humidity. My grandpa came over today and made the comment that it might as well be raining. Amen. It feels like we're living in a cloud. A very warm one. The air is so heavy and damp that I think I'm soaked in sweat, but I can't tell for sure.

When I lived in Utah, I used to think it was so silly and almost ridiculous that everyone religiously watered their grass. I haven't changed my mind on that one, but I am willing to admit that it is equally absurd the way we religiously run a dehumidifier inside to keep our carpets and bedding dry. We pull about 5 gallons of water from our air each day. Ridiculous.

I'm here to say that we're back from the desert and missing it.

    You can come visit me in the desert anytime you like!!!! We have no humidity and water our lawn everyday - we even run humidifiers in our boys room at night come the "cold/flu" season. Let me know if you need a bed to stay in - you are always welcome!!!!
