It's Christmas Day in the rainforest. I was invited to a Christmas Breakfast this morning but I totally forgot to go....ah well....maybe next year. It's' a beautiful day here at 82 F, sunny with some cloud. I am irrigating the plants using my nifty newly-manufactured sprinkler holders. I have the type of sprinkler that is on top of a long spike and as the irrigation continues the ground softens and it wants to fall over so a second visit is required to straighten and re-anchor the sprinkler. And the next time irrigation is called for, one can never find the hole from the previous time. I thought there had to be a better way. So I cut a few sections of half-inch pvc pipe, roasted one end over the stove, and jammed the spike in until the pvc conformed to the square shaft. These I pounded into the soil in the strategic locations to house the sprinkler. Works like a charm..woohoo!!
I have been invited to join my sister and brother-in-law for Christmas Dinner at some friends' place. I learned this morning that I have to try to scrounge some dessert somewhere but I doubt any of the stores are open. I may have to get creative with a fruit plate. Yeah, that will work. Regardless, it will be a good time. Time to move the sprinkler.
