Spring is getting ready to makes it’s appearance here in Central Utah. Unfortunately, I am not quite ready for Spring to arrive. I have a lot of landscape maintenance yet to do. I have been chipping away a little each day. Things like preparing flower beds and planter boxes, trimming trees, pruning hedges, fertilizing the lawn. All in preparation for the first of April when they turn on the irrigation lines for the town.
When I bled the irrigation lines and flushed out all the garbage I got a couple of unpleasant surprises. First, my shut-off valve for the garden irrigation lines had a crack in it and will have to be replaced. Second, there is a busted pipe in my main 1 1/2″ line that powers the lawn sprinkling system. I started digging to find out just how bad the pipe is broken. With any luck I’ll have the sprinklers adjusted and running on the timer by the weekend. We are trying to get the grass greened up so we can have an easter egg hunt for the kids this weekend.

Nice overalls Jon! I can’t believe it’s almost easter! When are you guys having your egg hunt?
Yes, nice overalls. You and Max are twinners.
You are such a cute little farmer!
We’ve been trying to get our little yard spruced up for Spring and it has been a lot of hard work and still looks a mess. We should just enlist the help of some good over the border laborers, but Phil is determined he can manage. So one truckload of dirt and a wheelbarrow at a time he’s getting our place whipped into shape. He was just talking about doing sprinklers - what fun that will be for him. I’ll tell him to be glad he doesn’t have irrigation lines to deal with. I can only imagine how busy your spread must keep you. I’m glad you’ve got cool tools to help. That ranger mojig looks pretty handy, reminds me of “pepe’ my mule”. Keep up the good work Farmer Jon!
I have some Dickies pants but not Dickies overalls
