And......

this is what you look like when your hand slips off the bucket (causing it to fling stuff back at you) while cleaning black muck out of the tank. We got an inch and a half of rain last night, so I had to bucket more water out of the tank.

My arm took the brunt of it, but I still managed to get some on my face and ear. At least my farmgirl instinct reminded me to close my mouth before it got in there! Let's just say...I smell awesome! But if this is what I have to do in order for us to have rain, then I will gladly take it.
