No eggs at all, yet.
But, the pipe is fixed and reburied. I hurt in places I didn't even know I had. Dogs are stir crazy because they missed flyball practice due to repair plans, and walkies due to owner hasn't got it in her right now. I woke up with a tennisball and a border collie in my lap.
I so owe my neighbor. I dug the pipe up, but he figured out how to fix it and fixed it for me. It was hard. The pipe is a metal one older than me, and corroded. The clamps wouldn't clamp down tight enough. Finally, he used a pvc compression joint and ground the corrosion off the pipe. It worked. I waited several hours before I reburied it. I want to do something for them because I took away their father/husband for several hours this weekend. All I can think of is gift card to cold stone creamery. I thought about movie, or gift card to a nice dinner place, but these are teensy kids and it would be kind of tortuous. I don't know if they drink, so nice bottle of wine or beer is out. Kids like ice cream, though, and so that is what I will do. It feels inadequate. If my blasted chickens ever lay, they can have any eggs they want!
