Since Dawn only has classes three days a week and is through a little after noon each day, I tend to work short days there, sort of like semi-retired. In addition, we get three day weekends each week. Now maybe, you understand why the concrete project there in San Jose is taking so long.
I actually do a little work here at home. So one recent accomplishment was adding more sprinklers in the front yard to provide more even watering. The parking strip and the side lawn were quite dry. That project worked out and the lawn is already green, though still thin.
In the back yard, i added another sprinkler as well. The lawn is watered by several rainbird sprinklers covering large areas and there is one spot by the deck that just doesn't get watered due to the circular pattern of the watering. I also added some concrete squares to the walkway in the same area thus eliminating some dead lawn with concrete.
Most of the flower beds use drip watering and some of those required attention and also some additions for new plants.
I also spread some compose that's been hanging around for a while and weeded a few flower beds.
But mostly, I enjoy the birds, the yard and relax while playing on the computer and reading.
Dawn does here vast quantities of homework in between shopping trips with Lou.
Lou got domestic and did a lot of cleaning and sewing.
