Garden, Windows and Irrigation

We did not see Kevin yesterday or today to work on the pond. We got about 1" of rain yesterday with pea-sized hail. This was enough to raise the pond level but not enough to reach the overflow port.

John left a message saying he could not locate the two Red Twig Redbuds we had wanted. He suggested we go ahead and buy them at the nursery at which we found them and John would plant them along the north fence. T assures me that they will be beautiful. We got three Arctic Fire (red) and two Arctic Sun (yellow).



Todd (Marvin windows) called to say the parts for the west and south sunroom doors will not arrive prior to our departure on our cruise. I told him we would call him when we return.

Wally showed up to commission the irrigation system. He relocated the sprinkler head at the southwest corner of the lot, tested the entire system and gave T and I a tutorial on how to operate the Rain Bird control system. There are thirteen zones in the system.


Morgan (east neighbor) came over to ask if we wanted him to mow the lawn while we are gone. I told him we did not want to impose and that we thought it would be OK. He said it was no problem and he would be happy to do so. Very nice of him, but if we travel as much as we hope, we will need to line up a lawn care company.
