Great timing for the rain

Yup this is what we need for Sarah’s Pond area Two weeping Willows we planted last evening are now enjoying their new freedom to stretch their roots. Then… Horizon called [yes I know I misspelled it] It has been one week we have been without phone service. Last evening as we were getting prepared to plant two new trees the 2nd line rang and it was not the Fax. But it is a FACT! All automated of course, but no time given NOT even a miniscule time frame. So that means I am here all day waiting. Now here is a concept…give the date and then MS automated voice say that a technician will call @ one hour [or what ever] before arrival to confirm all of the above.] At least the shower time would be safe. Then there is always the George Factor. 7 a.m. and the count begins. Time to pick the remaining basil and begin to process. The celery gave forth 3 quarts dehydrated, we will be up to our eyeballs is soups and stew this winter. Now to do the last batch of Basil...UM should have made PESTO Oh well there is always next year. 9:20 a.m. They called will be here in 15 minutes. Yippee! 10:50 a.m. problem solved. Silly of me to worry! But it gets BETTER…can you stand it? I am whisking my sweetie off for some CULTURE…Cornell Gunter’s Coasters, The Platters, and Beary Hobbs’ Drifters mid November. How fun that will be. PS Horizon called, well MS automated voice confirmed the problem had been fixed and what was done. Nice. BUT better … an apology for the long wait and in the next billing a credit of some amount commensurate with the time we had to wait. Neat
