The thunderstorms this evening were intense! This is so strange for Denver!

Looks like the rain finally came. Sounds like a good spring thunderstorm. Some spectacular lightening too!

Watering

‍‍כ סיון ה תשסט - Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Got up this morning and it did not appear to have rained overnight so I watered. 20 minutes per side.

Even though there were supposed to be thunderstorms yesterday, all we got was a 20 second drizzle around 4:30. As a result, I was out again this morning with the morning watering. I also did some weed pulling, especially around the silver maple along the street. 20 minutes per side of watering.

As soon as I finished putting down seed I watered. I did a bit longer than usual–30 minutes per side. Here’s hoping the seed takes root!

‍‍כג טבת ה תשל - Sunday, June 7th, 2009

I decided to take advantage of the low cut grass to make a last ditch effort at getting some new growth in our yard. I took much of what was left of the seed I bought last year and generously coverd the areas with the least amout of green.

‍‍כג טבת ה תשל - Saturday, June 6th, 2009

Decided to continue the epic struggle against the infestuous weeds in the flower beds in the front of the house. I manages to make it from where I stopped yesterday all the way to the corner of the property right at the edge of the irises. I filled another large trash bag and I would [...]
