Water and Hair Be Gone…

With a title like that you are probably asking yourself what the heck I’m talking about, but in the course of one day we did lose a ton of hair off our dog (like 8 inches) and hopefully will lose a ton of water from our backyard. By this, I mean that Todd has taken the week off to work on our bog situation.  Last Sunday when the kids were finding tadpoles and mosquito larvae swimming in the standing water, he decided it was time to action.  He rented a sod cutter, but opted against the trencher and instead dug it all by hand-what a man! I considered helping, but instead opted to head to the mall for a little birthday R & R.  Now the weeks we spent waiting for it to be dry enough to dig have been replaced by wishes for a good dumping to see if this tile system can handle and remedy our swamp.  So, essentially my title could have been Basic Clean Up, but it wouldn’t have been nearly as interesting.  Oh, and the cricket farm update…….. our first “litter” of crickets are successfully hatching!  Microscopic, but definitely thousands of them….wish us luck.
