Pineview water
I was gone for four days. And in that four days, grass grew. And grew. When I got home, my yard looked terrible. The church didn't look that bad at first glance, but the grass grew there too and it looked like some folks had a picnic and forgot to pick up their leftover stuff. I had a lot of work to do.
I spent three hours there on Monday. Yesterday, I spent the better part of the morning working on cleaning up the front yard. My neighbors had some work done on their house recently and the contractors never cleaned out the street gutters. I took care of that yesterday. They have a spring that popped up under their house several years ago and they pump water from underneath their house into the gutter. It always makes a mess and with the dirt and gravel remnants left over from their landscaping project, I had a muddy mess in front of my house. Not anymore, though.
Today, I worked on the back yard and the pool somehow turned green. I suspect someone tried to help me out and filled up the pool water. it was a little low after I vacuumed it out the other day. The thing is, though, that if you don't use the tap on the house, you get Pineview unfiltered secondary water and that's what the swimming pool looks like. It's a lovely shade of greenish/grey right now. That's a good thing because grey means the super amounts of algaecide and chlorine in the water are killing off the bad stuff. It'll take a week, but the pool will be clear for the last month of summer.
I needed to get away. I think the kid did too. And I sure had a good time, but it's time now to start to clean up what's left from the old and think about moving forward with life. Maybe it's time I started to formulate some kind of a plan instead of just going through the motions every day. I really have no dreams, per se. I'm blessed with a good life and thankful for all of it, good and bad.
Well, that's it kids. I'm headed to work soon and I need to throw some more stuff in the pool to help change green to clear. Hope y'all are having a blessed Pioneer Day. For a federal employee, it's just another work day.
