The Rain has Arrived

The first of several expected rain storms this week has arrived.  It has been a pretty steady drizzle for most of the morning.  I can normally save the water in our tanks in order to water the grass and the garden.  However, our tanks are already full, and all of this water is running out of the overflows onto the ground.  Oh well, at least it's raining.

Gardening Begins

I tilled in the grass clippings that I've been collecting over the summer.  Hopefully, it will add some nutrients into the soil and help to hold in a little moisture.  I battled with the garden drying out most of last year.  I finally put together a drip irrigation system, and the plants took off.  Unfortunately, it was a little late in the year.  We were able to get several zucchinis, a few tomatoes, some green beans, and some watermelon that never quite got big enough to eat.  I hope that next year will yield a little better output.

It's That Time of Year

It was that time of the year to make a hosting change again.  I think that I have made a hosting change around this time during the past two years.  So, I figured that I would continue the tradition.  I renewed my domain registration for two years and paid for a year of hosting.

Back to School Time

Madi started first grade on Thursday, and Lexi should be starting preschool very soon.
