Our Tulip Tree Shower


Another home owner's hurdle presented itself this week. The septic pump, after 21 years of faithful service, slowed down to a little less than a crawl. We are going to try our hand at the budget route and replace it ourselves, so the weekend is being spent in conservation mode. Hand washing dishes and dumping the water outside, selective "camping" powder room visits, and of all things... a make-shift outdoor shower from the Tulip tree. We had some assistance with the super heavy rains and Dr. Bronners Peppermint soap. Afterwards, since we were already soaking wet, some stayed out for a heated game of "Hurricane Horseshoes".
