At first light I was out in the yard, puttering (picking up downed citrus, raking the forest, trimming bushes, filling the pool, etc.)   It sure is a wonderful yard, but there's never any shortage of yard work, Bailey!

When Alex got home from work at 8:30 last night he helped me move the mower out of the ditch, and mentioned that he still needs to mow the back yard... as if I hadn't noticed?  

Once he mows (before irrigation Friday night?)
the yard should really look spiffy.

And speaking of irrigation.... we're back on the crappy schedule.  SIGH...!  I get to do the gates on 35th Ave. at 12:45 am Saturday 'morning', and then let the water go from the back yard at 3:00 am.
