Summer is here, thats for sure!

Below are pictures of the outside thermometer we installed.  The first picture was when it was in the direct sunlight around 11am and the second one was when it was out of the sun about 1h later.  As you can see, it was 44 degrees in the direct sunlight and 35 degrees in the shade; now thats hot!

Some of you who have been reading this blog may remember that when we got our house, the water heater was not working.  We had mentionned that it was not a huge issue since the regular tap water was chilly, but could still take a quick shower.  Currently we keep the water heater off at all times.  The water is now constantly lukewarm and more than warm enough to take a shower.  Not something we could do in Canada!

Anyone want to come and visit us?  You probably want to wait till it gets a bit cooler.
