We have had rain, rain, and more rain for a week, and I was forgetting to be thankful for it. <br /><br />We're not many years out of a drought so I do remember yet never had to conserve quite as much as you do.<br /><br />I lift you and your home right now for a floodgate to open. And I thank you and God for reminding me to be thankful for rain.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865763819603324836.post-31878491671079632012011-04-01T05:43:00.595+11:002011-04-01T05:43:00.595+11:00I agree with you water is a precious commodity and...I agree with you water is a precious commodity and not to be taken for granted. Even here in England we can sometimes have a water shortage if we get a good summer and we pay a high price for it too.

We're also situated at the top of the watershed, so the water we get is quite pure (bearing in mind we're not getting it directly from a spring!). <br /><br />Thanks for the food for thought. :>Kimhttp://www.transitustiber.net/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865763819603324836.post-17421760276964605292011-03-31T14:44:12.644+11:002011-03-31T14:44:12.644+11:00Beautiful post...thank you for sharing!
I know th...Beautiful post...thank you for sharing!<br /><br />I know that all too often, I take water for granted. I have yet to truly experience a "drought" and am always "shocked" when I go to a restaurant in western American where water is not automatically served! <br /><br />That being said, my husband and I do try to conserve water and instill its proper usage in our household. Our children are still little and don't shower alone yet, but I make multiple kids share bath water...just adding a bit of fresh for the next kiddo! We also don't bathe our children every night...and wear our clothes multiple times before washing. Easier for adults to do than the kids as you well know!<br /><br />BTW..thanks so much for dropping by and leaving your kind thoughts. I responded in kind to you back there!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />ValerieValeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17633704862629969672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865763819603324836.post-30750171569477942522011-03-31T13:44:57.630+11:002011-03-31T13:44:57.630+11:00Hello Gae...I do hope you will have more water soo...Hello Gae...I do hope you will have more water soon.

(I know that I often do.) Here is Texas we are having a dry spring so far - nothing like the droughts your country experienced. We would all do well to remember to conserve whenever possible.<br /><br />Praying that you will have water soon.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />joanJoan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430939897829160498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865763819603324836.post-81170551289759846212011-03-31T13:10:32.779+11:002011-03-31T13:10:32.779+11:00Water is taken for granted until you don't hav...Water is taken for granted until you don't have any.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690722786561637489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865763819603324836.post-20388075034409705402011-03-31T11:01:03.424+11:002011-03-31T11:01:03.424+11:00Gae,

The way they stop us from using water here is to keep upping and upping what we pay for water. They have passed laws about washing cars and lawns, etc. but most people don't obey. My hubby and I are always looking for ways to save water or reuse water. If I cook something like pasta in water I use that water to water the garden or houseplants. The price of water here in Los Angeles is ridiculous. And we've had a lot of rain and snow this year that we are probably not in a drought but the price will not go down. Oh well, we conserve and that is the best we can do. Thanks for sharing the ideas you use as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865763819603324836.post-87956752779339621702011-03-31T10:36:13.962+11:002011-03-31T10:36:13.962+11:00Oh Gae...I can truly learn from you dear friend :)...Oh Gae...I can truly learn from you dear friend :)<br /><br />Water is a commodity in any part of the world. Here in the mountains, water is just as precious to us.<br /><br />We have rain barrels in the garden to be used for irrigation. I fill a bucket of water a day for washing dishes...and I wash clothes with very little water. <br /><br />Our showers are timed for each member of the family.<br /><br />Our water bill is quite small, on purpose! <br /><br />Thank you for this dear friend,<br /><br />~ Maria ~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
