Garden Hoses

[flip_it_fast]

Today is the first day I got to use the garden hose at my house all summer! I sure did miss it. They make life so much easier!

Our spigot for the hose had gotten broken over the winter and we just capped it at that time. Well my husband finally got around to getting it fixed today and it is so nice to have again.

It makes watering the flowers, the garden and tons of other things so much easier! I never thought I would have missed it so much but I did.

I didn't have to lug buckets of water around today and that was awesome.

I even got my car washed today.

One very important thing I use my garden hose for is to hose off the siding on my house twice a year.

In the early spring, our house gets a coat of dust on it from the ashes that have spread on the road in the previous winter and hosing the siding off sure makes a big improvement. It makes everything look bright and clean again.

Plus, now that we have gotten sufficient rain, the grass is dying and that hose with a special attachment at the end can literally be a lawn saver.

Yes, you are right, those garden hoses are a critical part of lawn and garden care.
