Pumped
Out to Lowes this morning for a new fountain pump.
The old one was silent this morning. No babbling brooks.
Our fountain is a sort of abstract thing but the water is fundamental. Nothing new about that.
There is a well with a pump and it raises the water two or three feet. The water drops from the top bowl to the next to the next to the next and so on.
When it is not working, the silence in the courtyard is deafening.
Had to fix that.
So Lowes opens at 7 and I was there. First out of the line in garden supplies.
I bought a back up. Pumps do not last. Not at 24/7/52and annum.
I think they last about a year. I don't remember. Maybe I should date the backup box. But it is OK. Knowing is not going to help the wear and tear. Better to let it sneak up on me. It will be going long after the warranty period.
