It's Green.............

Well.....it's a little bit green! If you look closely, you can see Leryl enjoying the fruits of his labor.
And thank you, Bill...........it is an accomplishment!!

Finally..............

OK......it may not be exciting to you but......it sure is to us!!! The grass is planted & the sprinklers are coming on for 5 minutes every 2 hours. The pink tape is up & Bugs knows to stay off so, all is good.

Mystery solved...............

So........something got into the garden & absolutely destroyed one of our loaded plum trees. Leryl was not happy so he set leg hold traps around the tree & around the gate. This morning the culprit was caught! Just as he suspected........a nasty old porcupine. The Glock worked well & Leryl is, once again, a happy camper. He's resetting the traps just in case there's a buddy hanging around.

It's done!!!

We have a sprinkler system!!! The standing picture shows Leryl after he finished digging the last line. I also took pictures of him putting in the last of the 1,020 feet of pipe & hooking up the last of the 56 sprinkler heads. A big job out of the way & tomorrow we plant grass!!! Woo~hoo!

It's full..........

We worked on filling the pool & laying rock around the top edge. Planted a few little ferns we had. The waterfall sounds good. The rocks around the pool came from the foundation of the old house that was on the property. We piled them up knowing we'd have a use for them. Lots of flat ones so good for the edge of the pool. We're getting there. Thanks for checking.

Over the edge..................

The first picture is for Bill.......he likes the "nuts & bolts" stuff. The tank holds fertilizer that is injected into the sprinkler system. Leryl rigged it so it would not fertilize the shrub beds.....just the lawn. This was new to him & he's pretty excited about it. The other pictures show the edging we laid to keep the grass from creeping into the round rock. Two more sprinkler lines in back, round rock in the bottom of the pool, rock around the edge of the pool & we're ready for grass! Might be green when the kids come. I'll post pool pictures next time.

Diggin'..............

Not a very exciting post but at least it shows progress. Leryl has been doing lots of hand digging. He's waiting on parts to finish the pool below our bedroom window so he started laying sprinkler lines & getting the valve boxes in. Like I said, not very exciting but hopefully better than nothing.
