We are using all the grey water that we can capture now. Hubby even bought a pump to take the water from the tub, through a tube out the window and into a rain barrel! LOL!

We have had just enough rain last month so that the yard looks way better than it did the month before. We’re promised some tonight, but looks like it’s slip-sliding away from us! *sigh*

I’m doing fine, trying to work myself to a nubbin at Runamuck.

We have had some unpleasantness at work to deal with.

It has been unnerving.

I think we all need to start a subset of the Diet club in the Canteen.

I think all my extra manual labor has been negated by thirst quenchers.

LOL.. your husband is too cute and resourceful.

Glad you got a bit of rain..

We have had nothing but rain. Too much is no good either.

Real wood mulch as chips will help your wet go farther too..

We use that and the millions of pine needles from the neighbor’s tree that blow into our yard. They make a real blanket to hold in water...not very pretty though. LOL!

Well, I need to head out...gotta work in the morning. It’s so good to catch up with you. Been a while! Take care! (((hugs)))

Right now the sun is out, but clouds are hanging around. Maybe they will stay away long enough for us to see the moon.

Moonrise is at 10:53p

Good morning, Beachy!

*HUGS*

Great to see you this morning. Had a smooth commute in to the office this morning.

How are things going with you?



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
