It's a quiet morning so far...the twins are asleep. Yes, we have houseguests this week and things will be quite lively once the twins are awake.
It's also a gray morning...clouds are hanging over the orchard and rain is forecast for the afternoon and evening hours.
Today was going to be the first day of the irrigating season, but, because of the forecast we all decided to forego the event and wait another two weeks. "We" being those of us served by this particular section of the ditch. I'm at the head of the line for irrigating water and so it's my job to go to the main channel, lift the gate and turn the water into our tributary. Our small section of ditch serves six properties and it takes about 4 hours to flood them all. This takes place every two weeks all through the growing season.
