Rain Rain, Go Away!
Jarrod and Crystal took us out to Dinner at the Tomahawk Butchery and Tavern for Mothers day, great food, nice place, good wait staff.
It's been raining for 9 consecutive weekends now, as of May 11th
Mothers Day on Sunday we finally got some sun, so it became a designated work day. We did a lot but only checked 3 things off our to-do list. The black flies were out in force.
All the Apple trees are blooming now.
The Rhubarb was already starting to bolt so we pulled the heads off, we'll have to pick some this week, I'd like to try roasting some with strawberries.
- The Screened Gazebo went up today, a bit windy but not too bad, for some reason it didn't give us a lot of trouble going up. Still took 4 hours to get everything up, Nice!
- Fixed the old mower belt that had come off.
- Got some mowing done.
- Moved a Blink camera out to the deer-yard.
- Assembled and charged the new cordless hedge trimmer.
- Rose went out to the camper and found that mice had chewed the cord to the dehumidifier cord, and not just the insulation the critter ate the copper wires too. It's replaceable thankfully
- Took some yard pics
FROST warning for Sunday evening! We brought the plants in the house
We're hoping the wicked winds are gone for the year.
The quince is flowering, I finally got to see the female cardinal.
Rose mowed for several hours on Monday, lawn and field look great!
Monday night I went down the basement to look around with all the rain I was a bit worried, and rightly so, there was water coming into the basement from under the front wall where it meets the floor. Water percolates into the soil 6-8' down into the ground coming off Griffin Hill above the house travels down underground until it hits the front stone foundation wall and enters the house where the floor meets the wall. The pit where the sump pump is was full, the sump pump was unplugged. We got the sump pump connected to power and the hose out the basement bulkhead.
As it seems to go we found our dehumidifier has died, it runs but does not pull any humidity out of the air, the drain hose has no water coming out. Off to Amazon I go... I ordered the new Dehumidifier, it arrived Wednesday the box clearly saying not to run it for 24 hours, to let the Freon settle, ugh... Yay Thursday afternoon I turned the dehumidifier on and an hour later water was dripping out the drain hose! Happy happy!
The water in the basement just kept coming Tuesday the 13th, we worked on the sump pump, added a second one and ultimately pick-axed another hole in the floor, added another sump pump after a trip to Ace Hardware (They'd sold out and just received another shipment thankfully...) finally after all day vacuuming and pumping the water slowed down around 7 pm. The Piscataqua River is so high it's about to overflow the banks, the dams are all open, and still the waters percolate down from the hills.
The last 100 year flood occurred exactly 19 years ago in 2006 in New Boston! Affectionately called the Mothers Day Flood!
Wednesday Rose and I noticed the chokecherry's are about to bloom they'll cover the ground with purple berries in the fall if it's not to dry then. They have hard little cherry stones inside that'll be everywhere.
Thursday the water coming in under the wall has slowed substantially, we're still running the pumps several times a day. We're keeping ahead of it now!
We've got more rain coming this week on Friday... Its going to be a week.
CLIMATE PONZI SCHEME DENIED: Trump begins the exit of the BIGGEST WASTE
of money, resources and human lives ever and the climate alarmists are
freaking out.
President Trump has already done the hard work through executive orders to rein in government waste, gut the bureaucratic swamp, defeat leftist cultural insanity, and restore the rule of law.
House Republicans want Americans off the sidelines, but they're not giving us Americans what we wanted from the House Republicans. They're not our masters, who simply decide what should be important to us or what we should care about. They're supposed to listen to us, not dictate.
