As the Stomach Blooms....

We finally decided to get the professional opinion of a plumber, given that things were still not flowing properly despite having the septic tank pumped out...and it turns out that tree roots had infiltrated the short clay pipe between our house and the septic tank itself.

Finally things are moving again....on several fronts...and there was much rejoicing!

On an unrelated note, our fine spring weather continues with a crocus bloom and getting the garden ready for planting vegetables. I have even started by pre-planting the watermelon and broccoli in small peat cups in the house!


Yep, that's our toilet....in the tub!

...and where the toilet USED to be....

Hocus Crocus, in Focus

Lucky you... flowing toilets AND fresh crocus blooms to sweeten the pot.
(I hope you're planting your veggies far and away from the Neolithic pipe system...)
