Return of the Septic System.

7-17-13 VERMONT: Hot—93°, and humid. Even the boys, usually behaving like fish, are in the house watching HGTV with Judy.

The pumping station is fixed and equipped with a beautiful, brand new pump. The problem was that one of the floating switches had malfunctioned. There are two switches to control the pump, an upper one turns the pump on when the liquid level rises and the lower one turns it off so that it doesn’t suck up sludge. A third float detects pump failure and sets off the alarm.

Anyway, the dirt and sod are replaced and, in a few weeks, there will be no sign of the digging.

New blooms: summer azalea, potentilla.


Native day lilies border the back of the pond.

Hybrid daylily with broad petals and two colors.

Another hybrid daylily, thin petals, one color.

Not a daylily, but summer azalea.
