Chapter 24. Under Water

The combination of The Asshat's rainwater and my own has left me enmired in muck up to my armpits. The Main Hole has entirely disappeared.

I had to get out there with a hoe and dig a small trench to let the water out of the yard.

        I want this "water feature" in my back yard pond-- "Diana of the Chase."

She is the one I named my dog Diana after, because Diana is also a beautiful black hunter. I'd even like her if she were six inches tall...assuming the water wasn't covering her.  I am dreaming now...it's all a yard fantasy that lets me briefly forget this horrible place. Just a little beauty and grace, that's all I want.

I bet other people have much more interesting fantasies. Mine is just about drainage. How sad is that?

Addendum
Got two gallons of free organic okara today. I got it for myself, but...with two gallons, I can't be greedy! The hens think it's manna from heaven.
