Rainy Days and Sundays

With much of the work done on the house, there was time for other things, like the outdoor lighting. Gerald had wanted to expand it for some time, and this seemed a good time.

That is, it did, until it started to rain. But who's complaining? We needed it desperately and on this last trip home, it rained just over two inches over the course of four days. Since we had our gutters installed, the runoff was being channeled down the driveway. Gerald bought some pipes to divert some of it across the road. The plan is to attach the pipes to the drainspouts and bury them in trenches so the water can be channeled to the trees on the other side of the driveway.

The security gate at the entrance to Ruger Ranch that the property owners authorized at the last HOA meeting finally got installed. Gerald had given the gate makers these stars to spiffy it up a little. The rain gave them a nice rusted look.
