We do take rain for granted. We just had a little yesterday & more last night. About an inch.
Our town water is from wells even though we are only 20-25 miles fron Lake Michigan. They had looked into getting us Lake Michigan water but it would not go back to the lake & needed permission from all the states involved to make an exception. Ohio would not give it. Our wells are pretty good except there is too much fluoride in it.
My daughter & I have discussed that there will be someone who will figure out how to move the water from the flooded areas & give it to the ones in a drought. They will probably get a Nobel prize for it.
Probably next year I will get 1 or 2 rainbarrels to catch water under my downspouts. It is the latest way to recycle water for the gardens.
Here's hoping you both get some rain-hopefully a rainy day!!
Gloria
