Well it's time for me to get out the water hose today and start watering my lawn front and back as I have St. Augustine grass which needs plenty water when it gets hot in the summer plus my yard man cut it a little low this week.... I don't want to buy any more plats of grass from Home Depot it has really gone up over the years....

I try to water it front and back early in the mornings and very late in the evenings and this year I pray the mosquitoes are not too bad... I don't need to be bitten and get West Nile from them....

The builders put grass down in the front yard but I had to pay for grass from the front corner of my house all the way to my back fence when we first bought the house back in 2000... I get compliments on my yard when people walk by all the time...

I'm usually out front sitting on my scooter under the tree the builders also planted that was the size of my finger at that time now 15 years later it is a big shade tree and we like that for shade in the evenings since my front faces west and the sun is still bright....

My grand daughter's little dog loves to be outside with me playing in the grass as she waits for us to go around the block riding on the scooter..... She will walk some if the sidewalk is not too hot to her feet or she will walk in the grass until she see another dog then she hops back on the scooter...

We installed black screens to keep the house cooler and save on the electric bill each month in a two story home... Texas has a very high electric rate no matter who you choose for your provider.....
