Our rainy season was a little slow getting started. This afternoon it poured really hard and for quite a while and didn't let up til after 6:30 or so.

After the rain let up, I go out to make my garden rounds and it was a good thing I was watching my step because I found this sink hole. (Actually a true sink hole is caused by lack of rain when the water table goes down, leaving empty space, then the land just falls down to fill that void.) In this case there was major settling of the sand he used to fill the trench.

This was the gap at the end of the septic tank where it joins to the drain field. It's about 1 1/2 feet deep.

Guess we'll give good ole Mike a call to bring some sand and top soil over and fill it. Hope he's still in a mood to being a good guy. I'll keep smiling, it will probably help.
