New washing machine and dryer on the way!

We finally ordered our new washer and dryer! Finally we will be able to do our laundry here at home. The reason we haven’t done it before is because we have little water here. We live in the mountains, and although we have a deep well, it doesn’t produce enough for our needs. Now we have a small water tank to haul water, and we have bought a new large tank for storage. The idea is to use the small tank to haul water to fill the big one. We will put in a separate pump system for the storage tank. When its all finished we will have the stored water and also our well. In the meantime until we get the big tank installed, we will use the small tank to put extra water into our well when we do laundry. I know it sounds inconvenient, but to us it seems great. We usually drive to town on Friday afternoon, after I have worked all day, and all week, to do our laundry. It gets old! At least now we can do our laundry at our convenience. When everything is done we will probably have to haul a load of water 2 to 4 times per month. That is unhandy also, but once again we can do it at our convenience. We can make more than one load in a day if necessary. The stored water in the tank will probably last for a month even if we don’t refill it.

Our yard looks like a wooded park

It is amazing how pretty a heavily wooded yard like we have is right after mowing and trimming. My wife and I got outside this morning before the worst heat of the day, and gave our yard a good trimming, then I got on the tractor and used the mower on it to trim up our wooded driveway and among the trees surrounding our house. We were so pleased when we finished, it looks great! This summer has been so hot and dry that we hadn’t mowed our yard for quite a long time. We got a nice shower of rain late yesterday evening so we thought it was safe to mow today. After mowing we cut down some poison ivy growing in the trees beside our driveway, then my wife cooked some burgers for us, outside on an open fire. Yummy!

My wife and I enjoy working together. I told her how proud I am of her after we finished mowing. She is from the Philippines and had never driven a riding mower or car before she came here. She is still not a licensed driver but she can drive pretty well now. I have been working 6 days a week and I have been pretty tired and haven’t felt like working much here on our property. I am glad the mowing is done. Now I can spend the hottest part of the day inside, with air conditioning and tv…….
