Drip-Drip-Drip. I'm not writing about my X

This is a little happy flower telling Michael and me that "We Are Special."

We are special because today we installed our first DRIP SYSTEM and we did it all by ourselves!

Well, Gramps explained how the system worked while we were in Idaho and then of course, I spent some time watching YouTube how-to-films. By the time Michael and I headed to Lowe's, we were fairly comfortable with the process. We even knew there was such a thing as a four-headed faucet. 

Sound strange? Well, lemme tell ya, a four-headed faucets is a gardener's best friend. They don't call it a four-headed faucet though. NO. That would be self-explanatory. They call it a Hose Manifold. Whatever they wanna name it makes no never mind to me as long as it works.

Now we have a drip system hooked up to a brass hose manifold. Another hose for washing the concrete, a hose to hand water plants around the other side of the house and a FREE faucet for future drip system when we can afford to buy more pots.

Thanks for your help, Dad. They guy at Lowe's was extremely kind and helpful, too. The biggest problem we had was our FEAR. Once we got through the fear, it was easy-peasy-japanesy.

Love,
Carolyn

I installed a drip system, too! I call it the Millie Manifold. It works like this..."Al, go water the flowers!"

Then she slaps me and I do it.

Hahahahaha!! You are tooooooooooooo funny!

By the way, I"m gonna gripe about that four-headed manifold. I can't turn it on without a set of pliers. That's really dumb. Musta been designed by a man with big hands.

And, had it been designed by a woman, the brass would be embossed with daisy designs! ha!

Love,
