Y’all. Summer is hot…am I right?
If you live in Texas, or any other climate that rarely takes a break from sunny days and little rain, you’re gonna need to water your lawn.
So. Much. Watering.
I do not have an in-ground system. Nope, I’m as old-fashioned as you can get (in this matter!).
As usual, if I have something to do, water the lawn, I’d like a little fun added to the mix.

Here’s the sprinkler I use (and LOVE!):
Gilmour Impulse Sprinkler
(source: AMAZON)
Look at that spectacular beauty.
Couple o’thangs:
~ I have the plastic version of this badboy. As of this writing, I am ordering the metal version – cause TEXAS!
~ Not the TWO hose attachment areas. One attaches to your water hose, your source of, um, quality H2O (name that movie!) and the other can do one of two things: either keep the cap on to water one specific area….OR…attach ANOTHER hose (and then another sprinkler, and water more than one area at a time.
Then, of course, run through them.
F-U-N!
(told ya)
BONUS: the sprinkler makes the fun ch-ch-ch-ch-chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound that is ingrained from our youth. Think football fields – they’e notorious for using impulse sprinklers.

Well, it is!

Hard working, heavy duty and fun.
What more can you ask for in an above-ground manual sprinkler?
Get to watering, y’all. Summer ain’t over yet.
