What's Up

Here's what's blooming:

Clematis

Lilies in the afternoon sun

Lilies in the rain

Sunflowers that came up by themselves. I need to get a picture in the sun.

Now that you have enjoyed the outdoors, let me show you what's been going on inside.

Our sewer completely backed up. It was "pioneer days" all weekend. Here is the closet with the clean out (see the round white thingy). This is actually taken after the plumber was done. He pulled out a huge hunk of roots. See that shiny metal to the right? The reason for that is the next picture down.

Total mayhem LOL!! After he unplugged the sewer we discovered water was still gushing out the bottom of the toilet. He said the wax seal probably blew out from the back up. So he pulled out the toilet to fix it. He had to replace the coupling to the water supply to the toilet because it broke when he decided to add a shut-off at no charge (thus the replacent next to the cleanout).

Order restored in the bathroom

But a mess looms in the spare room. This is my shipping supply stash.

You never realize how much water you use until you have to haul it outside and dump it! I am SOOO tired!
