We had a coyote visit our store during the night.
Here are a few video title ideas. Do you have one to add?

"Looks like our newest sales rep stopped by after hours. Still waiting on his business cards."
"Late-night customer. We think he was here for an Employee of the Month plaque."
"Even the local wildlife knows where to find award-winning service."
"Just checking on his 'Top Predator 2026' trophy"
"Looks like someone was checking if we make 'Best Howl' awards."
"Coyote interviewing for Night Security job. We're still reviewing his résumé."
"He looked around, didn't see any Road Runner trophies, and moved on."

🌧️ Wait to irrigate!! Rain is in the forecast!

With rain in the forecast over the next several days, your lawn is likely getting the water it needs - no sprinklers required!

💧Waiting to irrigate:
✅ Helps conserve our shared drinking water supply
‼️ Reduces strain on the water system while we are preparing for summer
💰 Saves you money on your water bill

Irrigating when rain is expected—or when lawns don’t truly need it—uses water that must be treated and delivered, reducing what’s available for essential uses like drinking, sanitation, and public safety.

🌱 Early in the season, most established lawns do not need supplemental watering - especially when the weather is doing the work for us!

🌧️ Let the rain handle it for now. Smart timing makes a big difference!

Learn more about using nature to water your plants from The Rain Campaign and more about plant health from the Iowa State University Extension Office.
