Never Rains, But It Pours !!

Well, I'll try this again. Posts are disappearing into thin air.

   The summer started off well.Gardens are coming along well with attention being paid to them every day. I follow the shade around and an continually weeding. we've had a great deal of rain and the weeds love it ! Material has been washed, ironed and cut.  Some sewing has been accomplished. ED's Canada Day party was a roaring success. The weather was perfect, the food was good and the fireworks were terrific.
   However since then our basement has flooded. The first time was 2 years ago and now this summer. YS took the day off work on Monday and with the help of a phone call, bailed the clean out 'hole' and managed to turn a valve. Today we have someone coming over to see if we have solved our problem or is there a greater problem with the weeping tiles. Apparently the Backwater Valve can close on its own and after 34 years, I guess it did. So we having been vacuuming up water, packing up  the basement and moaning the fact that the whole basement has to be redone. ~~sigh ~~ And to top it all off, the washing machine will not work this morning......
    Only a short post, but we'll see if it works
