Today's To-Do List
Things I need to do today:
1. Praise God
2. Finish mowing lawn (hopefully no more mowing this year!)
3. Get leaf mold for strawberry patch
4. Hike up to the springhouse and clean filter if necessary
5. Plant evergreens
6. Dig holes for peach & apple trees that I ordered
7. Go to town for groceries
8. Thank God for a beautiful productive day!
Now I will check back later and see what I've accomplished off this list.

Well, Thank you Lord! A perfectly gorgeous day!
I did everything on my list except for the mowing. That will have to wait till tomorrow. I went to town at 9 this morning and was back at 10:30. I had a list. I had my coupons. I meant business. Total groceries before coupons was about $35.00 - after the coupons, $17.49. I did pretty good!
I bagged three hefty trash bags of leaf mold.
I planted my evergreens for a wind-break.
I left to go to the springhouse and I noticed some water in a stream. It seemed odd because that stream is usually dry all summer. So I went to investigate. Upstream I found water bubbling out from some rocks. I moved some of the rocks and the water increased. It would be so nice to have that stream flowing again down near the house!
After that, I headed up to the springhouse. What a hike! It's about a half mile up the mountain. The water in there was really low and the filter had some debris in there. I cleaned out at the back of the springhouse where the water flows in and the flow increased a lot. Then I noticed it. A hole in the concrete at the opposite end of the springhouse! I plugged it up with some stones to at least slow down the flow until I can do a good fix. But this explains why the water has been so low lately.
I hiked back down and did some mowing but wasn't able to finish because I decided to hike back up to the springhouse and see how full it was. It was really full! Praise God!
So I did pretty well with my list today. Tomorrow I will get a cord of wood delivered. I'll do my mowing after work and then start stacking. Then Tuesday or Wednesday we will tackle the spring problem.
