Last evening Roomie and I were patrolling the property as is our sometimes wont, and she told me that it must soon be time to start watering again. While she went to retrieve a plastic bag with which to dispose of dog poop, I saw my clue that it was indeed time to start watering. The ditch out back (more properly known as the Gallegos Lateral) had water flowing in it. Hello, Irrigation season! We will let whatever crud has accumulated over the winter flow downstream for a week or two and use the meantime to till up a new vegetable patch.

At least, that is the plan.
