Update on horse, hand & water

I am very pleased to announce that it is defiantly a sarcoid on the horse.  There is NO cancer!  A sarcoid is kinda like a wart.
Now here is a picture of my left hand about an hour after I was bitten.  Yes it was painful.  I have always said that what makes a dog bite bad is when the person pulls the part away from the dog.  I didn't pull and I didn't get any stitches.

Water...one day we are dry, the next day we are wet. 
One day the river bed is dry and we are standing in it.  And 3 days later not only is the river full but so is the parking lot.

 If you were taking the pictures of the water, you would be looking across the parking lot toward the boat ramp.  The boat ramp is in the middle of the picture.  Hmmm...Got Water...

Believe it or not, as much water as this shows, our water table is still low.

Weather calls for a Dip

What's the weather like where you are?  Well it's hot.  I really mean it's H-O-T! 

There is nothing as refreshing as  a swimming pool.  I grew up with a swimming pool and I just love having one.  Yes, I have to admit that the kids love it too.  Just something about water that is so refreshing and so calming.  If you don't have a pool then think about the possibilities of owning one.  Your kids will actually want to stay home during the summer break from school.  Their friends will actually want to come over and hang out.  Golly gee, it just sounds like a win win situation.  Ok, don't say it because I am reading your mind.  You are thinking, hmmm....I just want my kids to stay out of my hair during the summer.  Well they will with if you take the first step and contact True Blue Pool and Spa.

I believe that a company should provide the consumer with a high quality product and that they should offer courtesy and friendly service. With more than 14 years of experience and an avid competitive swimmer, the owner of True-Blue-Pool-And-Spa.com knows what a customer expects and delivers what is expected.  Don't just call anyone with your pool.  Call them, email them, however you wanna do it, just do it. 

Ok, maybe you are going to tell me that you already have a pool.  That's ok too and I sure hope that you enjoy it as much as we enjoy ours.  If you need any maintenance, repairs or you just have a pool or spa related question, just check out the links that I have.

I gotta run!  The kids are wet and calling me for a game of Marco Polo.  Yeah, you remember that from when you were a kid. 

Watering the Garden

We haven't had much rain here in my area and my garden is hesitant to grow and produce without the rain.  I've had to really get creative in ways to water without waste.  By that I mean that I have to water my plants without wasting water.  When watering the garden, it is important to water deep because it sets the roots in deeper soil allowing them to go without irrigation for longer periods of time.  Now the best water for any plant is rain water, but we can't control when or how often or how much of that we get.  I love the Rainbird products for my sprinkler heads and I like dealing with a company that I can trust.

Take care of your garden and it will take care of you.  Water the garden but don't waste the water.  Use products, supplies and a company that you can trust.  Ask questions from other gardeners, join a forum and relax with irrigation supplies that you can count on from a company that you can trust.

Enjoy the water that we have and the garden that you will grow!

Spring has Sprung

By now you probably know that Spring has sprung.  Well actually, not officially for 3 more days.  I am counting down the days until I can say Spring is here!  I love Spring and that reminds me of what I love to do this time of year...Gardening!  My youngest son and I have been digging in the dirt and watering our young tender plants.  Nursing them along and giving them the nutrients that they need to not only survive but to develop into wonderful producing plants.
With plants that produce comes work.  Yes, I know...that's a 4 letter word.  But it doesn't have to be!  One thing that I am researching right now is a drip irrigation system. I don't have to worry about forgetting to water the plants.  I'm not tied to the garden (so to say).  I don't have to hurry home or worry about getting back home because something in the garden needs to be done.  Irrigation Supply Outlet has been in business for 23 years and I certainly like to put my money into a sure thing.  I have discovered that they carry "professional grade" irrigation supplies.  That is a good thing!  Did I mention that I can save water too?!  Now how cool is that!
So you say that you don't have a garden.  That's ok, because you can find lawn sprinklers that will have you saving water while you get that grass green and lush!
Now get out there and get some dirt under those nails.
