Watering

‍‍א תמוז ה תשסט - Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Did the morning watering. It’s supposed to be a hot day today and the rest of the week doesn’t look much different with daytime highs in the 90s. Guess summer is really here. 20-minutes per side.

Mowing

‍‍כט סיון ה תשסט - Saturday, June 20th, 2009

I pulled some more weeds and did a little bit of directed watering on the new flowers planted yesterday. Randy, my father-in-law, was nice enough to mow our lawn and to work on the edges of the grass against the walkways in the front of the house. He was out there working with a manual trimmer [...]

Kelli and Will came over to dig in our dirt. In honor of Dana’s birthday, they pulled a bunch of lingering weeds from the patch just in front of the house and planted a number of perennials. They also were kind enough to put the plant I received as a gift into the ground. It’s [...]

Watering

‍‍כח סיון ה תשסט - Friday, June 19th, 2009

When I got up this morning I went out and did the morning watering. I did a bit longer than normal (30 minutes each side) because I knew I would not likely do any more watering during the weekend. I also knew that our friends, Kelli & Will, would be coming by to plant some flowers [...]

Watering

‍‍כז סיון ה תשסט - Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Got up this morning and did the morning watering. I also took the yard waste from the front out to the trash and found that someone had dumped a bunch of branches in our car-park. They didn’t even have the courtesy to cut them down into small enough pieces that the garbage men would be [...]

Watering

‍‍כו סיון ה תשסט - Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

When I got up this morning I did the morning watering. I’m so excited about the roses (despite the cuts and scrapes they inflicted). I’m starting to think they need a trellis… they’re getting too tall for the garden steaks I’ve got in there. Right now I’m sort of forcing them to wind back and [...]

Watering

‍‍כה סיון ה תשסט - Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

The rain streak might have finally broken. It didn’t appear as though the yard got much rain this past day or two so I decided to water this morning. 20 minutes per side. I also did a tiny bit more rose bush trimming and pulled some weeds and shrooms. Looks like a little bit of [...]

Mowing

‍‍כג סיון ה תשסט - Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Finally tackled the backyard. Got the jungle mowed down to a more reasonable height. I also pulled a bunch of weeds and did some serious prunning of the 4th of July Roses along the garage. Despite my cuts from the thorns it was totally worth it. It looks so much better. I also got the [...]

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.

Watering

‍‍יט סיון ה תשסט - Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

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.
