Well -check-, herb bed cleaned up -check-....

Today was a beautiful day! We took care of my Mom's dog,
Rumble, because she was in the hospital. Yesterday she had
pacemaker put in. She did well, it's an out patient surgery, but her
heart is so damage from a heart attack 6 years ago, that the Dr.
wanted to monitor her overnight. She returned home today, tired
and bruised.

This is Rumble, he's a Cairn Terrier

Last night the well driller called to say he's be over around 9 am.

He arrived early, which was fine, because Mike took off work to

be here while they drilled. The dog belongs to the driller and he

was entertaining to say the least because the minute the sand and

gravel started shooting out he was jumping up to get mouths full.

He really got busy when water started coming out, he was soaked

in muddy water by the time the well was finished.

The well is 31-1/2 ft deep and he estimated it was 60+gpm. This

will be nice for use with the animals as well as for irrigation.

From set up to tear down they were here for two hours. Let me tell

for the cost, they make REALLY good money! Now to get the electrical

in and the pump bought( it costs as much as having the well drilled)

The rest of the day we cleaned our herb beds, watered plants,

took care of Mom's dog and did basic chores. I wasn't feeling up

to par, so took it easier today.

This is Mike's weekend off. We need to get the lawn and garden

pump up and running, hoses laid out, tomatoes and walls of water

in the garden, weed whacking done out back, lawn mowers and tiller

all tuned up and oil, filters and spark plugs changed, burn a brush

pile for the neighbor and then if there is time left we'll rest a bit.

Have a blessed and productive weekend everyone!
