Good morning from Collegeville,
Sump pumps fail. Alarm systems set up to alert you to a sump pump not starting can fail too. I am thinking of having the ancient cistern in the Parsonage filled in with dirt and or concrete. The only question is “where will the ground water go then?”. The person who designed and dug the cistern under the house built in 1892 is long gone, so where does one go to get advice on such a problem? Perhaps Dennis at the Farm Store will know.
Because of all of the rain, the garden has yet to be tilled, so no Yukon Golds will go into the ground this weekend. Jon and Colleen have told me that it is ok to dig up a plot in Millstream Village, so at least I will get that staked out. The Monticello gang is coming to St. Cloud tomorrow and we will be taking in the St. Cloud Symphony performance of “Overcoming Adversity” including “Fratres” composed by Arvo Part. The St. Cloud Police Chief WM Blair Anderson will narrate “New Morning for the World”. Go to S T Cloud Symphony.com for details and tickets.
The APHC show this week is live from the Des Moines Civic Center in Des Moines, Iowa. Special guests include songwriter and guitarist Dave Moore and pianist Nicholas Roth. The Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Sue Scott, Tim Russell, Fred Newman and newcomer, Kate Beahen will entertain us with a variety of skits. The latest News from Lake Wobegon will ground us.
