Love this Fall Weather!!

I just love this fall weather!  Have I mentioned that? 

Today I saw two Bluebirds in the tree outside my office window.  Since they haven't migrated, I'm taking this a sign that we will have a mild winter.  A girl can dream, right?

The rain over the weekend was great for the fields and the freshly laid sod!  I can't believe that a month ago we were worried about too much water.  Last week, it was almost too dry in the fields to harvest the sod. 

Have a blessed day!

TOO MUCH WATER?

Fall is here!  It's may favorite time of the year.  I love the cooler temperatures!!  There is nothing better than a cool fall day with warm sunshine coming down!

In all our years I have never heard that there is such a thing as "too much water" for your lawn!  This year is quite the exception!!  Coming out of a drought, who would think this?  Some of the concerns we are seeing with lawns this year actually start with too much water, and improper mowing.   If you have an established lawn, TURN OFF your sprinkler!  Of course, new sod still needs to be watered in sufficiently.  Check out the section "how to water sod" under the "How Too" link on the main page!

Have a blessed day!

Cooler days

It was so pleasant to wake up to cooler temperatures today!  It was 57 degrees when I left for my walk around 6:40 this morning. 

This cooler weather today is great for sodding!  We have a couple of houses being sodded today!  I wish this cooler spell would last, but, it looks like the 90's will be back very soon!

Have a blessed day!

Summer Storms

Wow!  That was some storm last night!  We didn't have any damage, just some limbs down and a few things blew off the porch!  Place close by had some more serious damage.  We had 1.6" of rain, but Kearney had 2.7" of rain.  Doesn't look like we will be in the sod field this weekend. I am thankful for the rain, it was getting pretty hot and dry!  The local football field that we maintain, really needed this rain!

Personally, I'm ready for some cooler fall weather!

Road Construction

It's everywhere!!  If you travel I-35 between Liberty and Cameron, you know what I'm talking about!  Seems like this is the "main drag" for a lot of folks.  I need to remember to leave earlier when traveling this route because of potential delays!  Everyone slow down and it will go smoothly for everyone!

The crew is off to beautify Chillicothe this morning.  Hopefully the yards in the city will be dry enough today grade and sod soon!

Have a great day!
