Foxy Lady: You go, Ma'am!

hoo boy...rain scheduled for the third too...and i'm supposed to go shooting with one of my photography groups that day!

plaintiger: It's raining now

Foxy Lady: is it! i shall have to go see that myself. i love rain. :)

plaintiger: Where i live anyways.

Foxy Lady: yes Ma'am. understood.

i shall go look now.

Foxy Lady: not here yet, Ma'am. but it's lovely out there. beautiful temperature, and almost completely still...the breeze, if you can call it that, is so slight that i wouldn't know it was there if i didn't see leaves and the clapper thingy on the wind chimes moving just the teensiest bit.

it's weather that portends rain, alright.

plaintiger: Well i'm glad we got the garden in perfect timing.

Foxy Lady: yes Ma'am. that's great. :)

i only just called to have the sprinkler company come and de-winterize our sprinkler system for the season. they're probably going to be working in the rain!

plaintiger: Did ya have to mention Winter.Were just starting to warm up so we could plant.

Foxy Lady: i'm sorry, Ma'am - i *did* put "de-" in front of it!

plaintiger: ok but were getting

Foxy Lady: yes Ma'am! forgive me??

plaintiger: help out a Florida girl here. What's done to winterize a sprinkler system?

Eriisa: well i'm glad You asked, Ma'am, because i've long wondered myself but i guess i wasn't quite curious enough to actually go look it up. now i have.

evidently the simplest way to describe sprinkler system winterization is to say it's the process of removing all the water from the system's pipes so that the water doesn't freeze, expand, and crack them. and evidently there are three ways to do it, which are described in detail here.

i hope this answers Your question, Lady. it answered it better than *my* curiosity demanded it be answered...
