October is Good for Sprinklers

At our house we've been blessed with an underground sprinkler system. And it is still going, thanks in part to a podcast Mary heard that said one should continue to water into the fall. I've set them to go off early, around 5am. At about 7:30am it is almost done with the entire lawn, and it is doing the last section, which is the front yard.

The front yard is what Sofi sees out her bedroom window, and when she woke up and saw the sprinklers going she got all excited, put on her swim suit and asked to go outside. She hadn't even had breakfast yet!

It has been unusually nice for October, so it isn't as frigid as it sounds, but it was close, but the sun had yet to show itself over the bluff, and the water running through those sprinklers is mighty cold. It is amazing how resilient kids can be! She wanted me to join her. Isaac and I did go outside to watch, but it was cold enough just to watch Sofi jump in.
