I got a long anticipated project done today-I finished installing our drip system in the side yard. It started out well. Merrik was playing in the dirt with his dump trucks and Maliea watched in her stroller while I dug out the pipe to attach the drip lines to. I got as far as three of the planters and with one more planter to go, Merrik had to go to the bathroom and Maliea started crying because her dipes were full.
So, we all headed indoors which is where we stayed for the next 3 hours. Finally, while Maliea napped and Merrik was distracted by building a train track in the TV room, I hastily snapped the last pieces together. I realized that I had to finish it up or come Monday morning we’d have a huge mess when the water was turned on by the timer and the last of the hose was not capped off! Now I can put some plants in those ugly empty planters!
