I started the watering, Dana switched it in the middle and I finished it off this evening. We spent the day in Fort Collins at the Horsetooth Reservoir and it was in the 90s today. (While at the reservoir I accidentally had the camera in my pocket when I went into the water so it may be a while before there are more pictures.) As we were leaving Fort Collins it started to rain but there was no sign our lawn got any water. Our lawn looks yellow again. I think we need to switch back to twice a day.
Watering
Dana took care of the watering this evening. We decided to switch to only one watering per day. It was in the 90s today. It was supposed to rain (again) and while it might have drizzled it didn’t really rain here.
Mushroom update
I did some searching and I think the mushrooms that keep popping up in our garden are either Chlorophyllum Molybdites or Amanita Thiersii, both poisonous, the later deadly, and both common in this area. No grilling these monsters. 😉
Watering
When I got up this morning I watered the flowers under the tree and the yard. It looks like it is supposed to be in the high 80s today with a chance of rain (though there has been a chance for storm for a number of days and it has been fruitless). Oh well.
Watering
We returned from L.A. today and it was in the 90s. When the sun started to set I went out and ran the sprinkler. I also pulled some massive mushrooms. Check the photo page for the images of the shrooms and the progress on the flowers planted around the tree out front.
Watering
I decided to shower before watering this morning. As soon as I finished I went out and ran the sprinkler. There were some drops of water on the cars so it might have rained last night but not enough to cause the ground to still look wet. Dana and I are going away for a few days (Justin’s grad school graduation) and I won’t be able to account for the watering our house sitters do while we are away. At least they will water.
Watering
As soon as I finished mowing Dana ran the sprinkler in front. She also made a point of using the sprayer to water the plants around the base of the tree. They seem to be taking root.
Mowing
When I got home this evening I decided to mow the front grass. It was starting to look a little scruffy.
Watering
Again no sign overnight that it rained. If it did I couldn’t tell. As soon as I woke up this morning I went out and watered. It’s supposed to be in the 90s today and again there is a prediction that it will rain.
Watering
We missed the evening watering last night. It was supposed to rain but there was no sign of it this morning. As soon as I woke up this morning I went out and immediately got the sprinklers going. Forecast still calls for a chance of storms today with a high in the high 70s low 80s. We’ll see.
