Perhaps you do not look at your yard and think, “Why is it green over there? There must be a break in the system.” However, we know there’s a problem when it’s green where it should be dried up and thistle-y on your feet, crackling as you walk over the land. Lush? We don’t know lush.
Our weather should be cooling a bit, so next on the “Water Works” schedule will be the repair of water lines in the backyard. This is probably my fault.
I just assume that in some way, shape or form, I have contributed to every break, drip line cut or mowing mishap. You’d think after all these years we could replace me with a permanent gardener? I guess we forgot to build accommodations for a caretaker.
It just keeps my handyman employed. Job security now that he’s retired.
