Good morning Cafè. Coffee is ready.
The rain is already here.
I noticed the waterfall was not running this morning. I checked the GFCI and it had popped but would not reset. So I ran out and lifted the lid on the bench that houses the pump and discovered the power strip was sitting in about a 1/2" of water! Thank goodness for GFCIs!!
When I mulched around the pond I mulched around the bench too and that prevented the rain water from flowing out under it. So I quickly hand-dug a little trench to get the water to flow and then readjusted the where the plug was so it could never sit in water again and fired the circuit back up. Pump is running.
I'll make more permanent adjustments next weekend.
