Working On a New Spring, But It Was Just Too Dark

Saturday October 7, 2023 Guerneville CA.

Apples

I grabbed two apples off the tree to take with me up into the hills for a snack later.

Spring in the hills

Then I grabbed some tools I needed and rode on up into the hills to this spring I’ve been working on tapping.

I needed to dig out the ditch for this pipe to make it a bit deeper to catch the spring water.

The spring is coming out of the  hill here, but now I have a problem.

It’s too dark to see where the water is coming from and I didn’t bring a flash light up with me.

But I discovered a button on my camera I’ve never used that said night shot, so I pressed the button to give it a try. That really improved the picture.

I dug out the pipe ditch some more until I had it about right.

The pipe is ready to install, but to do it right, I need a flashlight to make sure I line things up properly. I didn’t feel I could trust the night shot on  the camera to do it.

Gave up for now

So, I gave up on that and went out to the rest area where there was a view and took a good break before heading home.

The rest of the day was spent just puttering around the yard with the chickens.

Nice day.
