All my free time lately has been taken up with an ongoing irrigation project.
Irrigation makes the difference between dryland sage and pasture grass around here. We had gated flood irrigation in previous years, but the new pressurized sprinkler system is supposed to be more efficient. Here's the pump house site, which so far only has a foundation and a big pile of dirt around it.
We were supposed to be finished and ready to go in a week, but due to parts arriving late, we're now in week three. My fingers are crossed that the work will be done soon. Very soon.
At least the grass that hasn't been dug up looks green, and the sky is always pretty.

ReplyDeletePretty nice working environment, i'd say.
ReplyDeleteI believe I've said this before...your skies go on forever! It looks like you have quite a spread at your place. I bet the sprinkler system will work wonderful. Hopefully, it is done soon.
ReplyDeleteWhile I love the looks of dryland sage, my hope for you is green pastures.

Good on ya, for switching to a more efficient sprinkler irrigation system. Water is a precious, precious commodity here in the arid west.
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting that done soon. Nice that you have good weather to do the work in. Those skies are a delight!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have never been to Utah, the riding, beautiful scenery et. all certainly make it look appealing. Maybe on our next visit to see the grandchildren in Colorado I'll find time to head a little further west...
ReplyDeleteI could only wish for non saline groundwater! Nice shots.
