Watery Wednesday
Remember I said we returned a little early from our trip because the pump in the crawl space could not keep up with the rain? Well that and living at the bottom of the neighborhood hills we pump ground water for days even after the rain. This is what it looks like every couple of hours when the pump kicks on!!

Such a weird sight! The photo almost seems to suggest this is a mini ice mountain! Great shot!
great watery post!
That's a neat picture Darla. Sorry you have to pump out water tho.
Great photo but not a happy reason. Sorry for your troubles, hope all will be better soon... Thanks for visiting.
Dealing with water in the basement is not a pleasant thing. Hope you don't have any more trouble keeping it pumped out.

Darla: I do like the capture from moving water, it is so interesting.
Wow. That is amazing. Hey Darla, keep Vicki in your prayers. She is not doing too well. I think once she gets out of that hospital she will get better. They have gave her way too much fluids through the IV and just figured it last night. Actually it was her husband that figured it out. Pray for her.
Sorry to hear about your troubles!
Thanks for the suggestion about my squirrels... They are such pest! I am going to give it a try. Thanks again.
Darla, thanks for the kind comment, and understanding how life just kind of takes over.
The garden is growing, the nursery is getting so busy, and many other things are happening. I just can't keep up.
I look forward to visiting my blog readers, just like they visit me. Right now I am reading over 90 blogs, and there seems to be precious little time for that also.
Looking forward to a warmer spring!

Hi Darla!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and for posting the "give a bible" on your blog! Wouldn't it be great if everyone out here in blogland did the same thing!!
Wow! And here in Palm City we're still worrying about drought!
You have your own miniature fountain. I hope you don't get anymore in your house!
Perfect Watery Wednesday post! It does look like a mini glacier. :)
Nice shot Darla!
Your own special fountain. You are so lucky. Thank you for the great photo.

Your own little water feature! I can appreciate that you'd rather not have it.
I hope you don't have many more Watery Wednesdays (or any other day of the week) like this. But you did get a great shot.
That's a lot of water! Where does the water drain to after it's pumped out? Whenever we have water like that around our crawl space I dream of a way to collect it (and the lottery win to pay for it)for use during our long, dry summers! gail
Darla: You signed up for Watery Wednesday just after us! We try to contact the person just before and just after us. We kind of have a situation like yours. Water can be a beast!
Oh Darla... I hope you get the pump fixed... Sorry you had to cut your trip short though... That is really a "watery" post!!! ha.. (Not funny for you all I'm sure)...
Did you get through the night last night with no damage? We think we did---at least so far.
Did you read your name in my post today? You didn't mention it --so I am not sure you even noticed!!
Hugs

I think you should've stuck your bare foot in there and then snapped the photo. ;~P
I was thinking the pump was in your basement. I guess that keeps the water from ever getting to your basement. Neat!

Long time no see! Sorry I've been such a rotten blogger these past few months - but I'm on spring break now! Hope all has been well in your world :-)
Who needs a fancy fountain when you've got a sump pump! ;^P
Thanks for visiting. This almost looks like a thing from the ocean deeps, or an alien. Weird!
Did you get any water in your basement? That's the worse...we had our whole basement flood but luckily it was before we finished it off; our sump pump doesn't do the job so we had to add another pump in the back window well, under the deck, which keeps water from going into the basement. But, there is no 'fountain' outside that forms! That is quite a sight to see!
Looks like a pretty fountain!
You ned to plant something that like lot of water there.

Hi Darla, good deal on the pump doing such a great job of water removal. Do you have a rain garden to take advantage of that water? Your blooms were so wonderful in the blooming post too. It sure is spring into summer there! Have a happy Easter!
Frances
Hi Darla~~ Got some catching up to do on your blog. Beautiful flower photos. Love the red rose. It's all the more special being a family pass-a-long/heirloom. I saw the small Euphorbia on my last trip to the $$ nursery. I might have to have it. :)
An amazing sight, that pump must be shoveling out water pretty quickly. Could you convert it to a garden water feature by installing some sort of catchment pool?
I hope the rains are on hiatus for a few days.
Wow first to see this kind of fountain.
