水遣り (sprinklers)

芝生に水をやるのが私の日課に成っている、二台のスプリンクラーを使って約２時間すべての芝生に水をやる、暑いので水遊びでは無いが結構楽しいものである。芝生への水遣りも夏季の間天気がよい時は出来るだけやるようにしているし、害虫駆除の薬品を散布しなければならないし、芝の手入れも大変です。町全体が道路、歩道を除いて全てが芝生と樹木と言う感じ、うちは芝生の手入をいたしませんとは行かない町、時間もお金も掛かる、私の様に２ヶ月だけだと楽しいのかも知れません。
今日宝くじを５ドル買て見た、コインで何箇所も削り当りはずれを確認するゲーム見たいなもの、見事１０ドルが当ったラッキーである、これでまた１０ドル分（２ドル～買える）買える当りが続くことを願って買い続ける予定、楽しみである。
I water our yard everyday - it's becoming my daily task. I move around two sprinklers (with hoses) and gave water to the grass. It usual takes for about 2 hours total. Because it's hot here now, it's sort of fun... don't mind splashing water to myself. During the hot weather, the grass requires a lot of water and sometimes also need the stuff to kill some noxious insect. The town my daughter lives has a lot of trees and grass around houses so we have to put some effort taking care of yard just to keep up the neighbors. That means it takes some money and time. For somebody like me who is just here for two months, it's actually sort of fun, though.
Today, I bought a lottery. This is a "scratch" game - I had to use a penny to scratch off many places. I bought a ticket for $5.00 and I won $10.00! I will use the winning $10.00 to buy more scratch games (I can buy one ticket from $2.00).
