This is our sump hole - but no pump.  With all the rain we've had I'm surprised we haven't been flooded.  Water is coming into the sump but doesn't seem to be rising - it's going somewhere.  I'll have to monitor it.

Thanks Kevin

My geeky children

Debby drove down to Duluth, USA, to buy two iPads on Saturday, the day they went on sale, then Dave flew up here on Sunday to pick his up. Click on play button

I am assuming it is military??

Bear, bear, go away - and don't come back

Baby bunny

She dug a hole and then filled it in about 7 feet from my front door. Maybe I'll be a grandma to some little ones.

The problem is - that is where I sometimes park my car.
