Weekly Yard Report

We finished painting the fence--huzzah! The yellow irises are flowering a second time which has never happened before. They are not fall-blooming irises so this is very strange. I wonder if the long dry spell confused them. The roof and gutters were supposedly finished on Friday, but I noticed that the downspout from the upper roof is not properly routed across the lower roof and into the gutter. It is several feet too short and will dump water onto the lower roof which is a decidedly bad thing. I think I missed my calling as a building inspector. Luckily, we haven't paid them yet.
