The Latest House Disaster!

Earlier this week the house had a water hammer! That is when the plumbing air chambers have a problem, or air gets stuck in a line, or something like that. I am a Tiger I drink dew from the grass and go potty outside. Anyway, when the sprinklers came on at 3:30 am it sounded like a locomotive was barreling through the house. Mom got up at 3:31 am and turned off the sprinklers, drained all the water lines (twice) but it did not get better. When she flushed the toilet the windows would rattle! It was kind of funny but mom was stressed out and crabby because she had to hand water all week and it’s very hot outside. We called the plumber and Brandon from Gold Seal Plumbing came out and replaced the pressure regulator and everything is better now and the sprinkler system is working again and we have WAY MORE water pressure than before – it’s amazing! But mom FORGOT to get a picture of me with Brandon so here is a picture of me with the new regulator – it’s a nice one.
We went to the Farmers Market this morning! It’s so great! We got bread and sesame seed bagels from the man who makes the best bread in Spokane it’s called Viva Ultra Bread. Tigers LOVE bagels!

Heat Pump Problem – Solved!

Our Heat Pump that provides air conditioning conked out on the HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR! It was 105 degrees! It was not a pleasant evening. But the very next day JW from Smith Heating and AC came to troubleshoot it and had it running again in less than half an hour he replaced the capcator  capasater a really important part needed to make it work. After that mom was happy again. Mom FORGOT to get a picture with JW so here I am with the heat pump.
The broccoli in the garden is all done; it does not like the hot weather anyway. Now we have planted cucumbers! Here is a seedling. Or it may be a weed.
The lavender likes the hot sunny days!

Sugar Snap Peas!

These are sugar snap peas that we grew in our garden! They are delicious and mom eats a lot of them just standing in the garden but some make it into the house.
