Terry and I have been working down at the other house…there was (not anymore 🙂 ) a broken water pipe.
Of course, it was way, way, under there…crawling through icky dark cobwebby spots is never a favorite thing to do
Then we found out that the clothes washer wasn’t working
So to make a very long, tedious story short
 We are done! (We hope!)
The girls have gone with Terry to change the water and I’m fixing lunch.
Crossed fingers and toes…everything is back into place and good working order.
As always your friend,
Linda

Lovely gardens. You can look at the flowers and feel that something is right with the world. It is never just one thing that breaks . So nice that handsome is good at fixing things and wonderful that you can help him. And, it beats dragging a 3 day dead cow out of the river!

Linda, I am not sure exactly where you live. Is the water mess from the mine going to bother your water? the EPA sure seems to be slow about getting things taken care of.
Glad you have your little ones visiting. Sharon Drake

Absolutely gorgeous flowers, Linda! I, too, love hollyhocks but the grasshoppers and other bugs just decimate them! 😦 We are to have a strong cold front (for August) come in tonight. High in the upper sixties for us tomorrow and tomorrow night in the 50’s! May need a blanket!
Blessings to you, Terry and Linkin!
