Truly one misses the beautiful beaches when the leave Florida. One also misses the swamp - which was just about everywhere. I did my best to create a little bit of Florida right here in Cedar City. When I got home from walking Andy to school this morning I poured a bowl of my favorite cereal and looked out the window at the back yard. I was shocked when I saw a ton of water sitting in the planter area along the back fence. Then it clicked. I started hearing a noise yesterday when I got home from work. I thought it was something with the heater. I was a little concerned when it was still going this morning. I turned off the furnace to see if the noise would stop. It did not. When I looked out and saw all the water I realized the noise was coming from the sprinkler system. Last year the landlord turned off the water valve that goes to the sprinklers. I discovered this morning that he did not do it this year. I borrowed a T from a neighbor down the road and got it off. It was quite a bit of water and had flooded over into Jay and Sara's yard then it was also spilling over and into the yard behind us as well. It was a lot of water and a great reminder of the swamp.
It was probably a good thing it all came together this morning as tonight we've had just a wee bit of snow. Everything is covered. Always good to get a little snow when you.
