the heat is on

I am not a huge fan of curtains. Nor, am I a huge fan of blinds.

When we bought our house we did not negotiate any window coverings....so we had to come up with some temporary solutions until we figured out what we were going to do. My son's room is at the back of the property so he has lived without window coverings but it is SO VERY HOT now that we need to find something to block out the afternoon sun from beating down into his room turning it into a firepit. So, off we went to IKEA - remember I said temporary.

We found these:













We also found one of these for our room because the previous temporary curtain thing was also not blocking out the fireball in the sky.

Then we had to install them. This is where God looks down on high and laughs and laughs as we try to work together without loosing it. We generally try to avoid all home improvement projects that require two people.... we once repaired a door screen and could not talk to each for the entire weekend. We always seem to do these things in the blistering heat of the day....

Anyways, our blind it up and T and his father will put up Luke's blinds tomorrow. Then we are off to the Okanagan to pick up the children and the wine. We are going to visit our favourite vineyards on the Naramata Bench, and Burrowing Owl and Hester Creek in Oliver.
