We finally got a nice day, lots of sun and a balmy 50 degrees. I looked at our forcast and starting tomorrow the temp drops again and it's supposed to snow. That's the forecast for the next 5 days. I could scream but it won't do any good. I worked on my fish pond and got the planters on my porch rail ready just incase we actually do get a summer this year. You know when you look at a project and you get it all figgured out in your head and think " this will be easy" ? Should know better by now. Several trips to the nursery to get connectors for setting up a soaker hose and they're still the wrong kind or size. Hook it all up, turn on the water and watch it spray out from the fitting. Same with the pond. Clean it, clean the pumps. Set up the little fish that spits and stand back to watch it for a few seconds before it stops completely and the pump is deader than a doornail. Now I remember why summers are so busy. Projects always take much longer than expected. Do I sound grumpy? Funny, I was fine till I checked the weather forecast ! Alanna

I know you are a gardener and probably a real good one, but you need a plumber for all those pipes and pumps. It will be a beautiful sight to behold when it is all up and running and the flowers are blooming around. I sure hope you take pictures and share them with us. Your good friend, Bill Mitchell |

Yep find someone to help with those soaker hoses. They work so well when they really do work. My little rock pond about quit working, and I know it needs a cleaning out. That will come in a few weeks. Linda B |
