other people's water sprinklers


Evening walk, and this spray, a couple of streets away, works as a pretty water feature.  Ours own day's encounter with Water Features was not a good one.  We have a waterfall in a front grotto, which operated with an increasingly defective motor - the guy who came to replace that today installed a sub-power motor which resulted in a sad dribble.  I guess that will get changed out, yet again.  Then I finally got round to writing the neighbors to tell them that water slowly seeps through from low down their garden wall into our yard - something which has meant that the Asian Pear has grown to record heights, but which also means dampness, moss, and at this rate, a potential mosquito farm.  No reply, as yet - but I also see that they have no lights on - so who knows where they are.  And so on.  Home ownership is a privilege, to be sure - but some days it just feels exhausting.
