Artesian Spring Water

For years we have occasionally passed near to an artesian spring that is set up for people to get spring water.  I don't know the rate of flow but it is probably about a gallon a minute from each of two pipes.  People line up and bring many large containers to fill.  The parking area is most often full and holds about ten cars.  A few weeks ago we stood on the rocks in the line.  As we approached the pipe we saw the people rinsed out their blue water cooler style bottles with the spring water before refillng them.  So we did the same with our red and white Coleman jug, the one that was a wedding gift - thirty-five years ago.  We'll go again to the low place between two long steep hills with it's fountain.  That water was good.  Another item for the retroactive bucket list.  Maybe someday I'll add a picture.

Retroactive Bucket List

I have a retroactive bucket list.  When I have an experience that I never imagined or thought I would have, it goes on the bucket list.

Recent additions to the bucket list include

Seeing the Great Circle Mount in Ohio - one of those creations of an ancient people that is not understood.
I expected it to be about the size of a baseball field.  It was much more impressive.  DER estimates that it was 1/4 mile or so across.

Seeing and hearing a mole fight back when captured by a cat.  The mole got away.  The cat didn't seem to know what to do with something that was fighting back.  I never thought I would hear a mole and actually never really imagined that those residents of underground tunnels would make sounds.  Clearly a lack of imagination on my part.

So the trend of my list is things that surpassed my limited imagination.  Maybe they will teach me to imagine more.
