…big bang, flash outside. Nope, not the mate to the Indonesian meteor: an electric line to the neighbors house just broke and dropped into the city arterial that flanks our house. We lost power briefly, and then a pumper firetruck shows up, blocks traffic while they haul the broken (live) wire out of the street. Hopefully our local power company will roust somebody out to deal with it—and replace the adjacent street light while they’re at it. What the across-the-arterial neighbor is doing about power, one isn’t certain…though the line could have gone to that streetlight that’s been out. At any rate, I’m glad it didn’t drop into our yard, as in, the pond.\u00a0
\nThe wind is blowing like crazy. I set up the pot-filter (simple bucket with floss and a circulating pump) to get the debris that is blowing into the pond literally faster than I can net it out. You’d know the hawthorne would finally give up its leaves the week after we pulled the main pump. But the real offender is the 40′ tall hemlock that looms above the fence. They don’t have long needles, but they have a lot of needles, and they send them far and wide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
