Okay, so I admit that this post won’t generate much attention. But, I’m a farmer and get excited about weird things.

Yesterday, a friend of Sylverleaf brought over a float ball for the irrigation tank. She found the float ball while digging through and cleaning out an old shed. The “old” float ball had not worked properly for quite some time, maybe even a year… Because of the old float ball’s malfunction, every 2 hours while the irrigation system is running, one of us needed to trudge out to the irrigation tank and check to see that the water was not overflowing and not running too low. Sometimes, that “every 2 hours” would be throughout the night, making for a very poor night’s sleep. During this particular time of year, when irrigation is so important, it’s easy to see just how nice this new float ball is! We can now sleep soundly throughout the night.

So far, the new float ball has been working like a charm and keeping the tank at the perfect water level. Sometimes, the simplest of things can really make one’s life so much better. A HUGE THANKS to our “float ball fairy.”
