During our last rain...

LOVE the full rainbow over the temple site... its so rare to get any rain. Even more rare to see a rainbow like this.

BUSY BUSY BUSY

While we were on vacation last week relaxing, the crews down at the temple were working hard. We were surprised at the progress when we came home.

There are some serious ditches dug up at the site... the crews have been very busy this last week. Some of the close up shots were done from my little camera by my boys as we drove by during carpool hour. I'll note the ones they did under their photo -- they are pretty proud.

Dying down

As of tonight, most of the smoke was gone from the big fire Sunday. 

We may have some smouldering for a while yet, but it is mostly dying down...
