Dig Dig Smile Smile Freebie Freebie

Okay, for all my grumpy mutters digging has turned out to be more fun than anyone expected. Yes, there are stones as large as our heads and the soil is hard, but we get to watch the sunrise come up every morning, and we are getting used to the heat.  My sons are fun to work with and always have some wonderful stories to tell, we catch ourselves laughing so hard we wonder what the neighbors might think we are up to over here! LOL! We are only digging a few hours a day in the morning so its...

Hand Me A Shovel…

Well I wonder how some companies stay in business? Ace Plumbing and Septic came out today and after taking the time to explain our situation to their receptionist, setting up and appointment, and being very specific about needing a digging crew, only 2 guy show up. Randall is the grumpy “crew” chief and seems shocked as all get out that I don’t know where my septic tank is. Funny, I told Randall the whole story when he called Thursday night to confirm the appointment. Anyway long story...

Plant Attack!

There is a Rose Bush under there! Really! Actually there are 2 rose bushes. One in the planter and one on the fence. Here is a Spring 2010 shot when it makes sense! Don’t get my wrong, the Morning Glories are wonderful, and they are allowing the Rose Bushes to grow in comfy shade without any summer burn! Whoo HOO! …and you thought I forgot my promise to show pictures! I did, but not completely! After I took my vitamins I got a brain burst! Happy...

Hold My Hand A While…

  I can be such a baby! Tomorrow the Septic Guys come.  All the work on the slow drains, has come down to draining the Septic Tank and running the lines with a professional auger after to see if that works. We wanted JUST the professional auger run down the lines, but no one does that in our area anymore if you have a septic. First it must be cleaned out THEN they will run the lines. I am cool with that, its just we don’t know exactly where the Septic Tank is. We have lived here 15 years...

Whoopsie Splat!

Air Conditioner got wonky last night so off it went. We opened our windows for a cricket serenade and got in TUNE with nature. We started that AC up this morning and it blew water all over the place. So the boys and I kicked Jack out the door to work and aimed ourselves on fixing the stopped up water line. Did that. Thought about writing you about that, crawling under the AC box, going to work with all the dust bunnies to keep me company. I wore my bandana over my face like a real drover....
