BillIt was necessary to put out the sprinklers to insure that it rains! The last couple of storms have slid north of us and our garden is dry.I could do my (in)famous “Park Ranger rain dance” but we try to save the big mojo for Labor Day or July Fourth. Mustn’t annoy the sky spirits.
Carter if you get the rain we got you can pack those sprinklers away with the Christmas decorations.
Sometimes it is necessary to make a sacrifice to the sky spirits. Usually they can be appeased by leaving hand tools on the garden bench but if they are feeling surly I've resorted to leaving power tools out. Don't believe it? Leave an expensive tool out and see if it don't pour!
