Nothin' But Blue Skies...

It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL outside. Today's high? 70 degrees, and it's already gotten there. There's the perfect amount of clouds in the sky, a bit of rain here and there, and deep blue everywhere else.

Yesterday, after church, we ate lunch and decided to go for a bike ride. We rode around to random places, and then decided to go to the Chena Lakes Recreation Area. Once we got there, we rode all the way to the lake itself, then decided it'd probably be best to get home. We rode roughly 10-13 miles. It was a PERFECT day for it, too.

As wonderful as these warm, sunny days are, there is one tiny little problem. I got in the car yesterday, and it hit me.
"What. On. EARTH is that horrible smell?!?" 
When it gets warm, anything we've missed that's been in the car for far too long unleashes its deadly odors and makes for a pretty disgusting car ride. Of course you don't notice when it's -60 outside.
The terribly unwholesome smell was eeking from...where? I couldn't tell. Scott told me after that he thinks something had spilled when he took the garbage to the transfer station the other day. He sprayed some Lysol on it. The next time I got in the car, it smelled like Lysol and sewage.

So today, I went and got the carpets shampooed. That must have been where the smell was, because praise God...as soon as they were done the smell was no longer there. The wonderful girl even sniffed the carpets in the gross-looking areas to make sure she'd gotten everything.

So, that saga is over and now we can enjoy it all!
