Best irrigation installation and maintenance recommendations

Hey everybody, my elderly mother lives over on the UCF side of town. She bought her house in 1999 and her yard doesn't have an irrigation system.

She's a cancer survivor, a retired teacher, has always been active and loves gardening. Last week, she got so overheated and exhausted while moving portable sprinklers around her yard that she got really ill and is still recovering.

My sister and I have decided that we're going to have an irrigation system installed for her.

Does anyone have recommendations for a solid, reliable irrigation company in Orlando? Thank you in advance!

I made a flurry of snowmen

My kid's school doesn't have drive-up carline anymore-- parents and guardians have to line up outside the gates (in all temps and all weathers, don't get me started).

But a happy, unexpected side effect is the friends I've made while standing and waiting for the school year. We're a ragtag band of moms and dads and nannies and grandparents, so the conversations are lively, we commiserate with each other, and I really like them all.

So, with the end of school in sight (9 more days!), I made my buddies snowmen ornaments (they're based on the Noel and the Snoopy Woobles patterns, and I adjusted as needed).

I hope they like them, and making them was a nice distraction from *gestures broadly*

She doesn’t photograph well (join the club, Twilight Sparkle!) but I like her

(And yes, I left off her ears because I was tired of making tiny things to sew on. And I made her little front legs as one piece, because ditto. And I fudged a little on her tail because it was confusing. But still! I love her)
