Good Golly...It's A Gusher!

I guess you've been wondering what I've been up to lately...aside from unpacking boxes, of course (lol). Well, I've turned into a city farmer; no horses, ducks, chickens or pigs...just a vegetable garden.

Well...The other evening as I was out turning the soil in my vegetable garden (making room for my fall crop) I broke the water line! First the hole started to fill with water, then as I moved my digging fork a bit it started to spray just a little, and when I removed the digging fork...It was a gusher!

Fortunately, it was not the household water line, but the pressurized irrigation line and I was able to close the valve to the water line. Fortunately (for me) Todd came over the next evening and showed me how to fix it.

End of story!

She's Singing...At Last!

The fat lady is singing...I finished the last of the touch-ups yesterday; mopped floors and vacuumed. The house is now finished and ready! (Of course I found more places needing touch-up today, and probably will for months to come...But it's done for now.)

No pictures, as I want it to be a surprise for Robert when he sees it.

Heading back to California today, so need to get going, as it is already a late start. Movers arrive next Saturday to take the furniture.

More later...
