Choose Your Day

Hola!
You know it is hot when you see this..........................poor Cookies, he is roasting. We may have turn on the mini split for him. Look at this! It defines the entry steps to the front door of the casa. Of course, there is no front door, there are no steps, but you will get the idea, I think. I believe Senor said the steps from the front door will be flush with this new little wall. But then, there are a lot of times when I think I know what he said, but it is just the opposite.
The passenger door to the street will be in between the two concrete columns on the right.The front door will be where the first space is in the wall, hidden there behind the branch of a fuego tree. In the lower right you can see the little wall. Senor is cutting the tiles and Umberto is doing the rest of the work.


A bucketfull of bouganvilla oversees the project.


I have decided to have a give away.....you have 48 hours (until 6pm PST on Monday night)
to guess the day the rains will begin here in Alamos.
The person coming closest to the date will get the earrings below. They are from my Wildflower Collection and are called Rocky Mountain Lilly.
The official day of rain is on every Sonoran calendar and it is June 24. It is called Dia de San Juan. Please read the comments and try not to guess the same day as someone else because then I will have to have some kind of square-off.......................like what time did the rain start, how big were the drops, how many inches fell, which tree grew a foot in an hour...........you know, that sort of thing.
You have to have a blogger account to comment. It is an easy account to set up and you do not have to divulge any information about yourself.

You choose your day................ adios for now................linda lou

Linda: I am pretty sure you are safe from my prediction as I almost never win anything, I have no luck when it comes to contest type things. lol
Enjoy the day.

Nancy said...

It will rain (I hope) on June 18th, at 5:06 pm local time. How's that?

I'll settle for the right day, but I thought I'd give you the tiebreaker ahead of time. LOL

Hang in there!

June 20th. It's roasting here too, I would love a shower right nw - but we probably won't see much for weeks. We are having dry storms at the moment, they do nothing to clear the heavy air, they just mess up my internet link.

I say June 14th, Flag Day. I have this thing for flags. We still have the little USA flag stuck in our truck's dashboard that went from Duvall to Mexico City to Guaymas to Salem and home to Seattle with us. So June 14th is my guess!

Linda Lou and Senor, Too said...

Oh, I love ALL the date guesses and the one time prediction, to the second no less. It is super hot today and 65% humidity. We turned on the mini split. Dark skies waaaaaaaaaay out over the Copper Canyon.

Nikki said...

I pick last night ;) It showered here in Navojoa but it is not the start of the REAL rains. You all in Alamos always get the rain before us so I will be excited to hear when you get your real rain!!

Linda Lou and Senor, Too said...
