Those who have worked on their own sprinkler system would not see this image as a reason to be happy. This past week after work, I have been swapping out twelve sprinkler heads so that I can return this area to dog friendly grass.

As I was digging and changing heads, I recalled the day when my son was five years old and was helping me install the nozzles on the new heads. Bill followed me around the yard on his tricycle. In the bucket on the back was the supply of different nozzles in bags for the sprinkler bodies. I would ask for the one I needed and Bill would look through his supply and bring it to me. That was in the spring of 1998. Bill is now studying for his Masters Degree in Montreal and I’m still working on the sprinklers we installed together. Good memories are a reason to be happy! Hope you all have a weekend filled with happiness.
