Watering
יט אייר ה תשסח - Friday, May 23rd, 2008As with every morning I was out watering just after waking up. I was hoping to come out and find signs that it had rained overnight (ever optimistic) but no such luck. If it rained I didn’t see any signs. The weather report is for low 70s with a chance again for thunderstorms in the [...]
Watering
יח אייר ה תשסח - Thursday, May 22nd, 2008So the rain seems to have never made it to our yard. I finally gave up waiting for it and started the sprinklers. It’s a poignant reminder of the insanity of grass-covered lawns in this part of the country when the nation faces a water shortage and the world faces ecological crisis. Amazing how powerful [...]

יח אייר ה תשסח - Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Dana came home midday to do some watering today. It looks like it might rain this afternoon. There was severe weather to the north of us and tornadoes touched down as nearby as Greeley, Colorado (about an hour away). We had a Tornado Watch at the courthouse but nothing more than that. I do hope [...]
Watering
יח אייר ה תשסח - Thursday, May 22nd, 2008I was up early and really didn’t want to get out of bed. Not a satisfying night’s sleep. I got the watering going. It’s supposed to be in the mid 70s today and it might rain. It’s going to stay in the 70′s for the next few days. That’ll be a nice change for the [...]

כח ניסן ה תשסח - Wednesday, May 21st, 2008Dana took care of the night watering as well. Looks like the plumber stopped by mid afternoon (even though Dana told him she wouldn’t be here). He checked the pressure on the outside of the house and discovered that it was set to the same pressure level as the inside of the house. He did [...]

כח ניסן ה תשסח - Wednesday, May 21st, 2008Dana came home mid afternoon to take care of the watering. It seems like we have a lot of green around the edges of the yard but we’re still struggling in the middle. We’ll see what happens.
Watering
כח ניסן ה תשסח - Wednesday, May 21st, 2008It’s supposed to be in the high 80s today. Tomorrow may be a bit cooler and it might rain (not holding my breath though). I was up before my alarm and got right outside to start watering. Covered both sides. While I still have no idea if the new seed is growing, the old grass [...]
Watering
טז אייר ה תשסח - Tuesday, May 20th, 2008I did the final watering of the night. Just before starting I took some photos. I also got some photos we took the other day of another yard we like up on the site. We’re not certain but we think we might have seen some sprouting. Perhaps by tomorrow night we’ll see something more concrete.

טז אייר ה תשסח - Tuesday, May 20th, 2008Dana came home midday to run the sprinklers again. It was in the mid 80s today. Hopefully this is working.
Watering
טז אייר ה תשסח - Tuesday, May 20th, 2008Dana took care of the early morning watering so I could get to the office a touch sooner. As always, she watered both sides. Still waiting for a sign of new growth.
