Alejandro F. replaces Alejandro T.

What a difference 5 days can make.  On Monday it was raining and then snowing and here it is Saturday, the sun is shinning and the thermometer is reading 60... more or less.  So being all enthused about a little warm weather we went to Lowe's to see if they were having a little spring in their garden department.  They weren't.... the 'ol fuddy-duddy's.  I did, however, spy a spitter sitting on a shelf in a corner where it obviously spent the winter.  I needed a spitter to replace Alejandro T (as in turtle) so without any delay I snatched the spitter.  Still being enthused about the warm weather I hooked the new guy up and without hesitation I turned

on the water and set the sprinkler controller to manual... lo and behold he spits. 

Well WhooHoo boys and girls... that's what was supposed to happen!

Our newest addition to the backyard has been named Alejandro F (can ya guess what the F stands for?).

Like Alejandro T, he will "spit" 3 times a day to keep the pond water level at the prescribed setting. 

Our first event of the 2010 season is in the books.  I hope it's an exciting year. 

Thanks for stopping by...
