Rippling Reeds

…reminding me a bit of a Missoni fabric.

While I was studying the reeds and their reflections in Spring Lake this morning, Ozzie was studying a large flock of geese which he suddenly decided to drive into the water. Although he was perfectly capable of pursuing them into the middle of the lake, he decided he preferred to roll in goose poop.

We are having very strange weather today…rain, not a lot of it, but real rain nonetheless, and highly unusual for July. It probably won't be enough to make the smallest dent in the drought, but it just might be enough to wash the layer of dust off everything.

When OilMan finishes taking small glasses of water out of every water source on the property, (treated well water, untreated well water and hot tub water) testing them for whatever he tests them for and making a spread sheet of his findings, I might be able to prevail upon him to remove the water, the containers of chemicals labeled "Ph Higher", "Ph Lower" , "Activator", a floating thingy that releases bromine and the seven pages of accompanying instructions from my desk to the pump house. I sense another exercise in the futility of getting my desk back any time soon, 

He shows no interest in ever dipping more than a glass into the hot tub, but any excuse for generating a good spread sheet….
