It amazing what a good 2 inch rainfall will do to the pond, and associated water levels!  last week I was worried about the pond evaporating too quickly, then yesterday it was a cold rainy day and today at the pond it was looking a bit better!

On another note, I have decided with fall pending so quickly to bite the financial bullet and get the plumbing done to the house professionally.  I keep running out of days to get it done, with teaching school, and weekends just aren't

Quite long enough!  That also will free me up to finish the ceiling and caulk any gaps I find while putting in the stove pipe. 

Have a great week everyone!
