Thanksgiving Wisdoms...

As we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, we wanted to take the time to share a few quotations.  Hope you enjoy:

• Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way. ~Native American Saying
•  Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. ~W.T. Purkiser
• Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. ~Theodore Roosevelt
• He who thanks but with the lips
  Thanks but in part;
  The full, the true Thanksgiving
  Comes from the heart.~J.A. Shedd
• The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings! ~Henry Ward Beecher

And last but not least...

 

May your stuffing be tasty

May your turkey plump,

May your potatoes and gravy

Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious

And your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay off your thighs!

Jack Frost is coming… Is your irrigation system ready?

The winter cold can wreak havoc on irrigation systems. Water remaining in your system can freeze, expand, and crack the piping or damage the backflow assembly. A particular concern for the relatively mild winters in the Charlotte, NC area is the backflow assembly as it sits above ground and is more subject to freeze than the pipes buried below ground. Replacing or repairing a backflow that has broken due to frozen water can be an expensive endeavor at the spring system startup.

If you have a sprinkler system at your home, protect your investment by winterizing your system before the first frost. To winterize, drain any remaining water out of the system and empty the backflow. You'll want to get this done prior to the cold weather (usually, by the first week of December).  

An irrigation system can definitely increase the curb appeal as well as the value of your property. But it's an investment that you need to protect. Every system is different. If you'd like to have professional help with the winterization process, just give us a call at 704-821-0708 or visit our website at http://www.aatexlawn.com/.
