Falling is a pain in the …..uh, back!!!
Saturday, August 12th, 2006Properly armed with two lawn sprinklers, I did battle with the Bexar County water restrictions yesterday. (We can only use sprinklers once a week,before 10 AM - our day is Friday.) Although hand-watering is allowed the rest of the week, I’ve found the heat and the hose weight present big problems.
From 7 AM till 10 AM, I repeated a circuit: set back yard sprinkler….scoot to front yard and set that sprinkler….into the house to set the nagger/timer. 20 minutes later - repeat the pattern. All went well, until the front yard was done and I put the water on the one remaining dry patch in the back yard. The patch nearest the patio. It’s a square patch and a round sprinkler - although I was careful about wasting water, some was landing on the concrete patio slab.
