Mark keeps the home water running...

About a week ago, our water pump began making fairly alarming noises. We began seriously reducing our water use, hoping the pump would hang in there until we could get a plumber out (no cat laundry again! Looks like another trip to the laundromat!).

The plumber is on his way today, and Mark dug up our well cover. Hopefully the drama will all be over by the weekend and we won't have to wait until next week for a total fix.




Here's a sign that Nick the barn cat is getting older and slower. You used to never see chipmunks around our place...except dead on the front path. This year we are infested with them, which I don't mind because I really enjoy them, until they get in the walls of house of course.



Ivan is at the vet's all day today. Let's hope he stays unblocked. Keep your fingers crossed.
