We bought a water sprinkler......it's a whole lot easier. LOL
I may yet find mine..all floated off on to my sister's place and beyond.

It's now been 16 days since it rained here, the grass shows it both in the yard and in the pastures. Still green, but has about stopped growing.

IMO, if you want a really good, long lasting sprinkler, it's cheaper to go to Lowes/Home Depot and just buy the brass impact head itself (rainbird type) and make your own base..
Most come with a little package of different size color coded nozzles so you can change how much coverage you get....how far the stream goes.

This afternoon DH mowed pasture #2. The Sheep had stripped the clover down to stems. The clovers and rye grass was brown. Bermuda grass is peeking out, so it was a good tim to mow.

All that chopped up grass sure made a nice layer of humus that will help shade the Bermuda grass roots. We need rain! Just as we finished, it came a drizzle.

DH went on to mow his Crimson Clover down the driveway and across the front. It also was dead and brown. Here and there were bright Black Eyed Susan’s, he went around them.

Not even a drop here Bay... :( Everything seems to be going way north or way south of me here.
I guess we need to coordinate a rain dance with @Devonviolet. We could all go outside and do a rain dance, wear purple, a stupid hat, poo on shoe, sing badly, light firecrackers ........ and I dunno ...... maybe pass gas? That ought to do it! RAIN!

I wish I can send all this rain here down to ya'll. It rained all day on Saturday and 1/2 day Sunday. Was nice and sunny out yesterday but today it's raining again.

Do all that above and perhaps this rain up north will travel down to you! ;):gig
