To continue with the adventures of last weekend, I was on the forest crew down the street, wrassling black berries and ivy and other invasive stuff when my tenant called to say the water in the toilet and sinks was brown. Oh lordy. That doesn't sound good. I hoofed it home to investigate and because it was Saturday, I called the 24 hour people. A nice young man with a nose stud (!) came over and said I needed filters and my galvanized pipes were ancient and prolly my hot water heater would give it up in no time. BTW, when the fire department flushes the hydrants, it knocks out all kind of sediment, which is what we were seeing. Who knew. Anyway, I have some new plumbing in the basement for a mere $4000. And no, I didn't buy a new hot water heater. I mean, come on!
Then after a birth, I was hanging with Kenny and the big dogs when Kody, his big black goofy lab, ran into, slammed into my right knee, the funky one. I went down and lay in the road for a bit with concerned neighbors around me.
I have to take ibuprofen before bed so I can sleep, which I'm not doing anyway.
I sure hope the knee recovers cuz surgery is just not that appealing. Or necessary.
My garden is bananas right now.
Love forever,
Beth

Oh Beth! You are taking the hits for real. I am so sorry! None of this is good news but... at least you have new plumbing?
Your flowers are gorgeous and I especially love the trillium. You, however, are the beauty.
My knee hurts for you. I hope it's feeling better.
