Pretty amazing how two plants are nice and green and flowering when the rest of our flowers are not looking so hot thanks to the drought and the lack of rain. Last night I was outside with J while he was watering the yard and we started commenting on how the plants were not looking so good even after having some rain last week. Then I looked towards the street and noticed the two plants that were flowering. Instead of being amazed this time around I said to J - OMG - check the water, we must have a leak again. So J removed the cover where the water meter is located and sure enough there was a leak!! The same thing happened to us last summer except we did not realize it until we opened up our $300 water bill!! So that means another call to the plumber. :(
Just this weekend J and I were patting ourselves on the back on how we've been actually building up our "emergency" fund and how we have a little extra money for when we go home to MA this week. Guess we'll see just how much "extra" money there is after we write that check to the plumber.
Seriously...Murphy's Law needs to forget our name for awhile!!
Ugh! I'll put a call into Murphy's Law and see if I can get them to lay off for a little while! I hope the leak is fixed soon!
ReplyDeleteI agree!! Thankfully the plumber is coming out tomorrow. J was able to tighten the nut and stop the leak (temporarily) last night.
DeleteOh I feel you on this one! Two repairs to our AC and a plumber call, plus a patched tire since May! My emergency fund is frighteningly low!
ReplyDeleteUgh :( Sounds like we are in the same boat!
DeleteAgreed. That said, you have two indicators to any problem that may exist in the future. And that's pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteGlad you caught the leak! And I hope the drought lets up very soon.
It's funny because when it happened last year we just commented on how nice those two plants looked when none of the others grew at the same rate. Hopefully it wasn't leaking very long!
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your leak. That sucks.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the name of the plant in the pictures? I love the yellow flowers!
