RAIN,RAIN,RAIN

Welcoming the rain!! We need it desperately!! Our HOA gave us a notice a few weeks ago that we needed to re-sod our yard because it was dead/dying; & that we needed to check our sprinklers because they must be broken or set wrong..thus why the yard is the way it is. Well of course our yard is dead/dying....there's been NO rain & we're only allowed to water so much. Yes our sprinklers need repair as well. If people wouldn't drive over the edge of our yard then all those would still be working. Wayne got out Sunday after church & put in all new sprinklers. So now all of them work properly. We have watered every single day this week, so far....including today while it was raining. Wayne said he had them set for every other day but I'd swear I heard them yesterday morning as well. We're only supposed to water on Wednesday & Saturday but I told him for this first week we could do the every other day just to get the yard looking healthier, faster. The last couple of times we tried programming the timer it's been screwed up...so we usually end up having to go out the night before & hit it to come on for the next day. Guess we'll still be doing that if we can't get it straight this next week...LOL!!
The bad thing about the rain is...no outside time...no going out to play, shop, or anything. This is driving Matthew bonkers!! He loves the outside...even if his only outing can be to the mailbox...lol!
