Plantlover: Many different Brugs have serrated leaves, and some have them when young and then grow smooth edged leaves. Not an accurate way to ID the many, many varieties of Brugs! When labels get lost or you don't truly know the name of the Brug it is best to just say the color and call it NOID. Noids are just as pretty as the named Brugs, but sometimes some of us have enough of one color and are looking for a specific shape or color, so we look to the named varieties. Your generous offer will be remembered. Thanks, Gloria

Here's what it looks like now.

We keep and old blanket on our patio for the dog to lay on when we go outside. One day a squirrel had it drug halfway across the yard before he finally gave up and chewed off a big piece to drag up the tree for his/her nest. It was funny seing that piece of green and white blanket up in the tree all year. Squirrels do what they do. I can't find myself getting mad at the squirrels for doing what they do. It's up to me to circumvent their behavior so we can all co-exist. I love my squirrels.

Scott...some answers: Is the auto filler on? No Are/were there sprinklers there before? There was one head but we haven't turned them on in over a week and it wouldn't explain the pattern that the water is making in the dirt. See explanation below. If you look down the sump pipe, where is the water level? It's high. The tube extends to the depth of the pool - 8'. It looks like there's about 4' of water in there. When the landscaper looked this morning he said, "That's a lot of water." But was stumped where it might be coming from. He says to wait til PB gets here before jumping to any conclusions. What would that much water mean to you? Are the neighbors up slope to you watering the grass a lot? It could be runoff. They are very slightly upslope but the wetness only runs the entire 45' length of the pool and about 3' wide. And it bumps out around each deck jet box. It's the damndest thing. I'll take a pic tomorrow of the 'pattern' that the water is making in the dirt. **Thanks so much, Scott. I appreciate your feedback more than you know. My husband has been travelling all month (not that he's much of a pool expert anyway ;-) and it's been hard to do without his support right now so your feedback helps.*** I'll post a couple more pics tomorrow.
