Day of Irrigation

It is our turn for irrigation water.  We were to get it at seven this morning.  I had lot pipe out from last night and the shovels and rakes in the truck.  I drove up to the head of the ditch and our water was there.  I put in the gate to stop the water from running west and turned it in our direction.

I didn't get any photos until a little latter in the morning.  

About three feet west of house six this evening primrose is in full bloom.  It is one tough plant.  It has been walked on abused for years.  The bloom doesn't last long and wouldn't be noticed.   There are a bunch of irrigation pictures.   They are not in any particular sequence. 

This one if felt very interesting.  It is a sewer pipe with holes on both sides.  The water came from the bottom and went up a slight incline.   The water came out the holes on either side.

This comes brings water from the main pipe down the east side of the house.  It hooks to the sewer pipe above.

This picture shows the water coming from the main ditch which start at the base of the at the end.

This pipe brings water from the main pipe and ends by the raspberry plants.

This is on the north side of the house. With different pipe lengths and 45 and 90 degree ells. I can take the water at different places on the lawn.   The pipes crossed the side walk and delivered the water east of the sidewalk.

The vegetable plants are doing well and I hope to plant them in the garden by next week.

I finished my turn and turned the water down to the Stephenson's next door.  The water was running muddy and by the time I got my smart phone to snap a picture it was running clear.

This photo show the backyard lawn with some pipe bring water to the north side of the lawn.

The poly was remove from house six late this afternoon.

Diana  and her friend stopped by for a visit a little after lunch.  Robert, Frank Williams and Diana helped with the Farmer's Market and other vendors three or four years ago.  I haven't seen Diana since then.

Lisa and Emi came this afternoon.  Lisa brought us some groceries and other things.   She also brought a Mother's day present for Carol.  She took photos that we have been saving for years with her.  She also took those belonging to April and Melissa.
