elizillaAbout two weeks ago, I saw a Washtenaw County truck pull up out front. I was on the phone and couldn't catch them. But we think it was the soil erosion permit inspector. We have heard nothing so today Steve called. They said they mailed us a letter last week and as soon as we pay the last inspection fee it will be closed. The letter isn't here yet but Steve is driving over and will pay in person before they close today. The office is ten minutes from our house and the fee is small, like 23 dollars. Then it will be done, yay!
We continue to watch news of flash flooding an hour north of here or half an hour south of here, while getting almost no rain. But the grass seems to be established enough that it's just normal late summer brown, instead of disappearing.
The hydrangeas need water every day or they collapse. Neighbors have the same Annabelle variant and they're not doing this, so I think ours are still establishing. And that's not nearly as much watering as we needed for the grass.
I think our days of giant water bills are done.
