Water Main Break!!!

Water main break on the property!!!Let just say everyone around here has had it share of water pipes breaking. Sunday was spent planting flowers and fixing yet another water pipe. This time it was by my in-laws house. My husband and nephews and bother in-law and father in-law spent the day digging a huge hole and trench to drain all the water just to fix the pipe. Thank heaven they didn't have to dig the whole drive way up and hill side. But I will tell you my husband is 6ft and well you can see all the water and how big the hole is. Good Job Boys!! The pipe is finally fixed. How many women think there husband is hot when they are dirty?

In other news.. Now that I am done being sick (hopefully) I can getting back to knitting. I have been working on two different socks. I have been making a sock for my self and one for my cousin who wants to knee high socks. In the knee high sock I am putting a cable pattern down the back of the sock. Hopefully she will like it pictures to come soon.
