| Our Yard the Next Morning After Rain |
I was up early, at 5:00, as the rains woke me I think. We got about a half an inch last night, and it's raining right now as I write this, looking at the the digger still in our yard, the pools of water and mud. The septic should be finished today despite the rain,. The health department will stop by to give it their seal of approval, the electrician will set the mechanical switch in the house, and the pump will be started once all this has been done. Then, Rodger will dig another ditch for me, a french drain which hopefully will get rid of some of the low spots in our side yard.
Well, it's almost 2:00 and they are about done with the digging part. Rodger will wait till next week to grade the yard since it's so wet, and we have just talked to a State Trooper who moonlights by spraying yards with grass seed, fertilizer, some other agents that make it adhere and grow quickly. You have probably seen it along roads, as it's green and gradually grass comes up though quicker than if you did it yourself. Rodger and his one helper are really good guys, and it's fun talking to them, and your find out what a small community this is, as Rodger went to school with the health inspector, the State Trooper, and seems to know everyone else after living and working here for 40 years.
