The water is stil going.
Looking back at photographs from last year I can see why we did not have this issue then, though there were colder nights. The pumphouse was covered in snow.

Now, it’s bare and exposed. I need to get the damned old well pump out and the tank, then I’ll have a relaticely clean and large area where I can get to the incoming waterline to heat and insulate it properly. I think the little room it encloses (About 4x4x6′) will be a good storage area as well, possibly for root vegetables. Suppose this also means it’s about time to think hard about doing some plumbing upgrades in the basement as well. Going to be a busy spring.

We have a pair of bluejays that have nested in the big oak in the front. I am pleased to see them, and hear the rhubarb they create.

They alone don’t seem to fear the squirrels, and in fact will dive on them. I hope to get more feeders this summer and maybe get some hummingbirds too.

The water has been trickling in the kitchen sink now for three days. The bill is gonna be icky.
