Our Big Red Streak

All right, this may not look like much, but it is. The big red streak across the middle of the yard is in fact the result of getting our water line fixed. You see, for about two months when my mom got the water bill, it was amazingly high. Not like a couple of gallons high, but like thirty gallons higher than it should've been. Along with that, even in this drought, there was a spot in our front yard that was much greener than it should've been. It was the color of the greenest thing you can think of, but greener. So you put two and two together and what do you get? A broken water line. That's what we had. The water guy came over and told us that if we get it fixed within two weeks, we wouldn't have to pay for the extra water. So we turned it off for a few days, but that got annoying cause we had to keep filling buckets. So eventually we laid off that idea, and unfortunately, kept the water on. The guys came and fixed it, rupturing our neighbor's line while they did it. For a day there was a Caution sign wound around the area, but that came off after the inspector came. So everything is fine and good now. I'll always remember though the day I walked over the sidewalk and there was nothing under one part of it.
