Much of the weekend was spent removing shelving from the garage at the old house, and putting it in the new house's garage. This gets very important stuff (junk to anyone else) off the floor, and makes it easier to clean. (You do clean your garage regularly, right?)
Boise was having one of those weather situations that are typical for this part of Idaho: completely unexpected rain and cold weather on Memorial Day weekend. This gave us some snowfall on the mountains between Boise, and some really neat clouds.

All the rain has made the hillsides around our house very green, and everything awash in wild flowers.

Last night, as the sun was setting, all I could think was that it looked a good bit like the Highlands of Scotland--a place that my wife is in love with, even though we have only just touched the Highlands on our travels.
We have spent some time moving road mix to improve the appearance of some areas around the drive way, and I expect that we will continue these activities for some weeks now. Our builder keeps forgetting to haul away a trash can of construction debris and fermenting garbage from December, so we transferred it into lawn and leaf bags and hauled it away ourselves.
There's still a small leak on the (now empty) lead filter housing, which we are hoping will be corrected in the next couple of days.
Last house project entry.
