So goodbye, dear friend.
On Sunday, our neighbor's tree service took down a very large oak tree that's been our neighbor for 20 years because it wasn't safe anymore due to a rotted core (see below).
Unfortunately, the tree service broke our water line and we were out of water for 2.5 hours but luckily they were able to temporarily patch the line until a plumbing service could replace it.
Today the plumbers left us without water for almost 3 hours until they were able to replace the entire water line.
Meanwhile our front lawn looks like we called in a mortar barrage.
I keep telling myself, "This too shall pass."
