I think I say this about every season but I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR! I love monsoon season and we have been getting pretty good rains here. I love the smells and the way it looks outside all gloomy then sunny again through the gloom! I think I enjoy the puddles as much as my little boys. I posted just a few pictures of our yard and the dog we inherited with the house that Tad is absolutely in love with!

This is Taffy! She is a very hairy but very sweet and docile dog that the boys just love to death!

I about had a heart attack when I saw this on a piece of plywood Joe and I were making shelves out of. REALLY CALIFORNIA?! Wood causes cancer? REALLY?!
