The disadvantages of living in Yuma in the summertime.

 This is our pool after a dust/rain storm.  See all the sand at the bottom?  Not fun. 
Lucky for us we have a decent pool vacuum to clean it all up!

 Good thing the neighbor had those palm trees trimmed just in time for our picture!

And this is a spot of grass that quickly turned yellow after only a few hours of being covered with our pool cover (to dry)!  Insane!  Needless to say, it is very hot and dry here in the summer.  However, wintertime is the best weather anyone can ask for here!  That is why it is a place where all the snowbirds (a.k.a "Winter Visitors") come and live from about October to April.  Then we have to deal with the crowds in the stores and on the streets.  It's funny to be in a store and hear snowbirds complain about the long lines and the crowds when they are the ones who are causing them!
