You wonder when we will get moisture. It would be nice to get out of that moderate drought condition on i25 but we will be patient, its coming. Absolutely. Becky, thank you. We will talk to you in a bit. We are not the only ones feeling the weather. Lawns and plants are, please, give us moisture. Care tips from an expert coming so, its that time of year when the gardens are going door dormont. We have chris walton. Chris, thanks for joining us. So, we look at our lawns and im checking this out here. It looks like the grass is semi alive. Yes. When we get a closer look, you can see the blades thinning out and what not. Absolutely. It makes it difficult for us to go ahead and be able to aerate the lawn, be able to get where its needed and its difficult for the lawn to rebound in the spring if you dont have a lot of water this time of year. People have turned off the irrigation systems. You want to make sure you are pulling a hose and trying to get water to the lawn. The whole idea is to water it with a water hose or a sprinkler system, how much . It gets cooler. Days are shorter. You are talking 15 to 20 minutes in each area of the lawn that you can and you want water that we have. One of the things that i struggle with with having lawns in the past, how do you know when you have enough water. I know that i used to stick the dirt a bit. Is there a touch test or how far do you go . You can do that. Unfortunately, what happens in colorado, especially with watering lawns and trees, its so dry, the soil is so compacted, you get a third of the water that runs off, a third that evaporates and a third itself. Its so important to keep it water enduring the winter months because of the stress with lack of moisture. Absolutely. Thats true for the trees. I look at a tree and i wonder, here is a big tree, how do you keep them watered. Deep root watering. Try to get water down into the soil as far as possible and having a recharge surface or any company come out and do that watering over the winter im not familiar. A pipe in the ground. There is a probe in the ground. About four gallons per minute into the probe. Down to the roots so they can sip up the water and stay healthy, something that we dont think about because its wintertime but so important to keep the lawns and trees watered, christine, during the wintertime. Chris walton, thank you so much for joining us. Christine, our lawns and trees should look great, now. Absolutely. Thank you. Well, with marijuana on the ballot in several states, many are looking to colorado. Colorados attorney general is responding to a judges decision that clears the way for some ballot selfie. The judge issued an injunction that says you cannot be charged completed ballot as long as its outside a polling place. The law is still working its way through the court.

Cynthia coffman issued a statement saying in part after the arrest of a man accused of holding a woman make sure they dont have a serial killer on their hands. Police arrested the suspect, after finding the victim locked in a metal storage container in rural south carolina.
