Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.

So I woke up early this morning to the sound of the doorbell. It was our neighbor, letting us know that a river was flowing from our backyard to theirs. Apparently our water main has broken...again.

Looking on the bright side, at least Jason won't have to battle the icy ground and rock retaining wall for this repair like he did last November. Still, being water-less remains inconvenient. We have company coming in a couple of hours, and I'd like to be able to do at least a little light housecleaning--like flush the toilets. But hey, at least I don't have to worry about the showers. Anybody in need of a wash can go splash around in the yard.

Crazy weekend. Just now getting around to reading blogs. You'll have to post a follow-up. That was a lousy way to wake up!
