I've done a few deep waterings in the past few weeks with the manual oscillating sprinkler in front (a few deeper than I'd intended (coughovernightcough), so I figured it was probably time to energize the sprinkler system for the season.

With Katherine to help and spot for me, I turned it all on, went through each zone and ...

VICTORY!

All zones fired off, all sprinkers worked fine, God's in His lawn chair, all's right with the world!

Nice.

Also did some cleaning work in the back garden beds, pulling out deadwood and leaves and so forth. Decided, with my arm being a bit sore (no, really) to only do a part of the back -- but also sent Katherine hallooing off after the Fresh Spring Crop (if not Locust Plague) of Dandelions.

They look so pretty in bloom. Why do they have to get so ugly after ...?

Regardless, very jazzed about the sprinklers.
