Timing the Work

Of course, with the high heat during the day, everyday, you have to get anything done outside in the early mornings before the heat arrives which is generally around 10 AM. Yesterday, I sprayed all the weeds and wild grass we had on the property to get rid of those unsightly blotches and also did some investigating of our irrigation system which I still haven't figured out. There is one valve on the side of the house that doesn't seem to tie into the rest of the watering system so I guess I'll have to get some help in figuring out this strange system.

Following the little bit of outside chores, I went to the store to pick up a few things and then settled in to watch the US Open Golf Championship. The course this year is outside of Tacoma, WA, and is a course that is new since we left that area. It was a gorgeous day in the Seattle area and this is the nice time of year to be anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. Every time we see shows from that area at this time of the year we get a little homesick for that part of the country. Of course, all of the announcers agree that it is a true garden spot of our country.

We have a rare day off together today and will probably do some more settling and unpacking of the boxes - in between the US Open - that we brought from the fifth wheel. We wish we could just go ahead and get everything else delivered and set up but we will wait until our residency becomes "official", hopefully early this week...
