I will have some kind of Fall harvest this year, since I did get seed in the ground.
This year I get to enjoy YOUR labors and probably will prep my beds for 2024, which is something I Never seem to get to, anyway.
Still I have some picture to take this week before DH, DD and friend go to Alaska on Carnival (again.)
I plan to take melatonin and wine and sleep off the first two days of the cruise.
My back is healing up. I have been SO careful in the last year to not pull out my back while my legs heal up, and then...
Still, I am "bissing" little Pyglet, as DD's learned to say growing up.
I am Really sleep deprived bc of Pyg and the local government.
The nice thing is that the latter problem would go away immediately, should I win a lottery and move!!
Not like cancer.
I got both the new Water Supervisor And Treasurer approved Wednesday night.
Pushing new Treasurer to get together with the banker to get paperwork signed so that the bills get paid.
I have instructed him to be at our September meeting, along with the new Water Supervisor who has Lots of ideas of how to spend money that we may/may not have on projects. Treasurer will be brutally honest as to our $assets.
We will be getting an audit, of sorts, so that all of the us on the board know where the money is.
LONG TIME COMING. I have been waiting 6 years for this, myself.
As one Trustee (12 years on the board) told me, when she started, there was financial transparency, which eroded into financial secrecy. Last mayor knew we had a financial problem but never dug in.
IF we are in financial trouble the board will Have to raise water rates to keep the EPA from closing our plant.
Water Supervisor disagrees. Atty has told me so, and I believe Her.
I am
pinning the water company that we would have to buy from
down to what they would charge us and I intend to have their rep to our meeting in October.
Certainly, $75/month, My suggestion, where you can petition our board for a payment plan and buy water from the town, is much better than the town paying a set amount and collecting or shutting off water of residents for nonpayment.
Something else...if the price gets too high, a few residents living on the edge, might abandon their homes, thus making the pool to spread the bill smaller...high yet payments.
See...headaches.
I intend to post the email where Embarrass water gives me their ballpark price, and handwrite
____/62 = YOUR new water $bill
Let the gossipy residents believe we are already buying from them.
I guess big problems can bring big victories.
