Signs of Spring

We woke up this morning to very heavy fog. If the old saying holds true, we should get rain about the 8th of July; chances are we will need it.  We did get about 0.20 last night. The fog cleared early and I got this picture of our first Daffodils. We did some more work on our lawn sprinklers today. I think we have them all "up and running". Our Rainbird System was installed over 40 years ago when the house was built. While it has taken a reasonable amount of maintenance, it's really held up pretty well. One of the maintenance  items has been raising the level of the sprinkler heads. During those 40 years the grass has built as the soil, dust has blown in, and the lawn has actually raised an inch or so. It is also apparent next to the sidewalks though they may have subsided a bit. I haven't spent much time working in the yard the past several years when golf was a high priority. but since I haven't played yet this year, the yard becomes a higher priority and a greater challenge.
