Nella!  When are we going to have the pleasure of reading a  blow-by-blow story of your move from
Phoenix Az to Nella's Nook north-west Arkansas?
Here in God's Own, summer didn't hurry about making it known that, indeed, it was that time of year,
but once it did, it has been marvellous;  perhaps a tad to warm for me, but I find that as I get
older, my temperature tolerance is getting lower.  The low to middle 20s, I can handle, but, lately,
it has been getting up near 30, and in other places, and places not too far from Gore either, the
daily temperatures have been getting, perilously, close to 40, but I don't know of any where the
temperature has, actually, reached that horrifying figure.
It has been very dry too.
I have a 1500L tank that catches the rainwater from the barn roof and it was full of saved water.
However, I bought a self-filling water trough for the sheep which was going to be filled with water
from that tank.  It is gravity fed with the water working on the siphon theory.
The level of water in the trough is regulated by a ball and cock such as there is in a toilet
cistern;  when the water has reached a preset level, the b&c close the inlet valve, or that is what
it * should do.
I connected this trough to the hose coming from the tank and was pleased when I heard the water
running into it, but I was not at all pleased when I returned some time later to find that the shut
off  mechanism had * not worked and, consequently, the trough had overflowed and I had lost a great
deal of my precious rainwater.

I think there are a couple of people; I hope someone can help.

Jewel, I know it is summer for you, so I'm sure you are busy with the garden and
such.

What is everyone doing with themselves during the winter months?

It is cold and wet here in northwest Arkansas.  I'm going to have to learn more
about gardening in this climate.

I would like to start a small orchard and am interested in planting dwarf trees,
I think they would be easier to manage.  Does anyone have experience with them.
I would love suggestions and advice.

I'm also interested in planting some flowering bushes; I want them to smell
nice.  What types of bushes do the rest of you have; what do you like and
dislike?

Nella
