We are doing just fine. Last night we even talked about that this lack of running water isn't as bad as we had anticipated. But, I'm still gonna keep writing about it!Mollie @ Jennings Brae Bank Farm https://www.blogger.com/profile/16454841644255307846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471690513446438187.post-90690964546318031812012-01-18T23:13:19.085-05:002012-01-18T23:13:19.085-05:00When we were little - I could NOT stand the taste ...When we were little - I could NOT stand the taste of the water inside the farm, but this well water was the BEST! Always cool and pure - like the glacier water in bottles today ... without the plastic. And that pully has been there as long as I can remember too. Of course, the buckets have changed through the years and that little well "building" was a haven for bees at times. <br /><br />The farm where Jim and I stayed as farmhands and a nanny - well, he was digging under the whole house because there was a water problem - couldn't find it without digging. Jim found a well like this and he dug to the bottom. It was, in the end, 25 feet to the bottom. I wonder what's in the bottom of this well? <br /><br />Just think of the healthy lifestyle you are living! No couch potatoes with you two! <br /><br />Just remember - don't lick the well pully when frosted! lolSusi and Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471690513446438187.post-12461559929960989852012-01-18T23:02:46.553-05:002012-01-18T23:02:46.553-05:00Yikes MT and Farmer J, life is complicated enough...Yikes MT and Farmer J, life is complicated enough without this kind of stuff going on.<br />I do see the beauty in the frosted pulley however.So tonight before I go to bed I am going to go outside and get some snow to melt to brush my teeth with in recognition of your troubles. naw! how about I brush my teeth using PBR, that be roughing it.

It's the little points of beauty, like the frost on the well pulley, that make for transcendent joy when things are going well, and bearable slogging when they are not. I hope this episode of not going well ends soon.Auld Brucenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471690513446438187.post-49358112827336659632012-01-18T10:16:34.961-05:002012-01-18T10:16:34.961-05:00For some cosmic reason, you are given the opportun...For some cosmic reason, you are given the opportunity to experience the hardships that most people in third world countries live with on a daily basis, all their lives. Who knows where this experience will take you? I know you don't need these real life lessons to sensitize you, maybe the point is to share them with others on this photo blog. Thanks for doing that for all of us.Lorraine in Wisconsinnoreply@blogger.com
