Well day


Our old bored well became progressively unreliable so yesterday our back yard was filled with strange noises, lots of mud and water as they drilled a new one. While we are thrilled to finally be able to both get a shower and not have the well putter out as soon as we turn on the dishwasher, I can't help but wonder how long it'll be before the rest of them recall that the septic drainage field is too slow to accomodate four loads of laundry in one day....
See that really tall part of the driller thingy? The young man cheerfully climbed to the top waving a running chainsaw in one hand, leaned way out and lopped off a few stray branches...I turned pale and went in to find some knitting to focus on. Apparently this is normal for the guys. If you've ever noticed you rarely if ever see women swimming with crocodiles and hippos in order to take cool wildlife shows. Guys do these things.
We who love the guys try to find the best coverage for grey hair.

We have city water and a septic tank, and I love the way the drainage field makes the grass look so lush. Unfortunately, it's in stripes!!! In the front yard (we have a lake out back). Our yard looks like a green zebra!
