What's a leech line?

As the kids say today, "I K o C M O T Y D K W a L L I * " it's a septic tanks drain-field.

*=( It Kind Of Creeps Me Out That You Don't Know What a Leech Line is.") ya dig? No! Wait! No digging in the leech field area!

As Erma Bombeck February 21, 1927 – April 22, 1996, would say, "the grass is always greener over the septic tank." And she was right in her observations.

Out where I live, the speed is not posted, as it's rural. So quite a few folks travel much faster than the 55 they're supposed to abide by.

Same out here. The young people see the "speed limit" signs as suggestions…until they get to our town of 22,000 with clearly posted 25 mph signs. After being stopped a few times, they too pay have to attention.LOL.

 

[Jacqui]

WHAT those signs aren't just suggestions?

 

[Jacqui]

Morning all!

I think our police don't want too much work. Many places in our town, the posted speed limit is 60. I've never seen anyone here get a ticket.

Hi Maggie!

 

[Jacqui]

Today is our last day in the 70s for awhile. Might be getting snow Thursday night and Friday.

 

[Jacqui]

Some of the plants are coming out, like stinging nettles and columbine.

Crazy weather!

No snow here, thank goodness.

The mulberries I cut out, where just starting to bud out.

 

[Jacqui]

I did a truck load of mulberry branches, so I decided to start on painting one of my old benches.


I keep thinking each year that I want to do some lavender color combination on it. Either like the metal frame parts or perhaps the backs of those slats.

 

[Yvonne G]

lavender and lime. could look pretty good. I think I like it.

Bright and eye catching I think.

This morning I swept the floor, prepared my mop bucket, and grabbed the mop to find out the sponge part was ripping off once it landed in the water. I think I only get about three or four moppings in before that happens. Used to last a lot longer.

 

[Gillian M]

Popping in to say.......

That's simply too funny. I painted a book case lavender and it's mate a mint green...I'll take pix...

 

[Jacqui]

Brrrrrrr chilly here this am. Good morning guys. *waves*

 

[Jacqui]

Yvonne would hate it here the next two days.... wind gusts of 40 mph expected.
