Well, I read through the instructions on the Cipro Rx and it seems I have to avoid a lot of direct sun for now and for a few weeks after the doses finish. I'll try to work in the yard in the morning or evening. This kind of antibiotic makes one more prone to sunburn. (I think pasty white skin also does that, so this is a double-whammy!)

We had a tantalizing sprinkle last night, but not enough to make a difference in the yard. I'm running the soaker hoses today.
