Time flies

Here we are with June almost gone. Weather in Yuba City has been HOT. This weekend is going to be spent cleaning out the TrailManor. So many things to do, and still not finished with the security screen door. Turns out that one package of the one-way screws for mounting it was missing from the door kit. Grumble. Fortunately, they are a stock item at Home Depot and Lowe's. Fairly inexpensive, all things considered. Probably going to deal with it in a couple of weeks and be done with it. Yay...as the to-do list avalanches down upon my head. So many things to deal with. Remove landscaping that is too close to the house, replace sprinkler heads with ones more appropriate to the spaces they are in. One of the existing ones is a round pattern in a rectangular planting bed. C'mon, there are rectangular spray pattern heads available, and they cost about the same. Need to put bubbler heads under the shrubs so water isn't being wasted by spraying the fence behind the shrubs. Eventually will put in a drip system. There was one, which the previous owner's dog literally chewed up. I keep finding pieces of drip feeder line about 6 inches long that are all chewed up. I see much digging in my future, alas. Might wind up renting a Ditch Witch at some point, depending on how horrible digging with a trenching shovel turns out to be. Going to have to be picking up another case of Gatorade soon, just to keep up with my needs for yard work. Until next time, take care and stay safe, everyone.
