September Burns Out

September didn't end with any clear sign that Fall was here. It went to 108 here in Glendale yesterday and it was not a "refreshing" day. I believe there is one more 100+ day in the forecast - today - before we finally say goodbye to summer.

Our landscaper was busy digging out and moving plants in that heat and good progress was made in our backyard. We expect to have the sand spread today for the pavers and the (artificial) grass and he may even wrap up the changes today. With all of the work done in the yard yesterday, he stirred up a scorpion that somehow ended up in the bottom of our pool:

We aren't sure how it ended up there, but it was most likely in the rocks around the pool before the landscaper disturbed him. Anyway, it is one less we have to worry about. The good thing is that we haven't seen one live scorpion since the treatment was done.

It looks like I will need to buy 70 more pavers in order for the landscaper to finish the job in our yard. Lowe's has those in stock, so I will pick those up this morning. Once the yard is finished, we will be done with any improvements and/or upgrades. Then, we should be ready to put the house on the market - Ha ha...
