Ahh, the smell of aspen in the evening.

The new swamp cooler is up and running.  It only took 3 days and half a dozen visits to Home Depot.

Right now it’s doing a fantastic job of cooling down the house, and since the pads (the straw ones made out of aspen) are brand new, the house is full of the smell of aspen.

There is worse smells the house could be full of.
