If you haven’t heard, the water pipe leading to the outdoor spigot on the “barn” is leaking. Tonight Ryan and I attempted to fix it. We’ve installed a water softener – this should be a piece of cake. The bad news is that the CPVC pipe that was there originally did not really line up with the metal pipe coming out of the ground. We had to cheat to get it to work. The good news is that the project is done. If it stays dry, it’s good enough for us, because that will mean we can turn on the water to the exterior faucets and use a hose!
Since the plumbing project took longer than expected, we only had time to plant the 11 Arbor Day trees in pots before dark. We plan to assess each tree’s will-to-live later this season to determine which are ready for planting.
After dark, I started a jar of alfalfa sprouts and another of mung bean sprouts for fun. I enjoy watching them grow each day, on my own kitchen counter. We’ll have to plan a stir fry next week.
