Water, water, boil and trouble

Water garden, honest

Pond water. This is what we’re drinking. Guppies not included.

It’s bad enough that there was a big fire on the MBTA last Thursday.

Today, a water main broke in the water system and the MWRA had to draw on other reservoirs (which I’m sure are a lot cleaner than my little water garden tub, but still — yuck). So now everyone in the Boston area has to boil their tap water. This is going to be fun.

But the guppies are happy. I added a handful of guppies to the water garden today. As far as they’re concerned, it’s summer vacation. It’s all fun.
