We're on water rationing now. The well water is getting salty, the pond is dropping and we're flushing judiciously, not profligately. Summer in TN.
We heard rumbles of thunder at dinnertime last night, but rain did not fall. We have drought, while the Midwest floods. It makes me glad I don't make my living farming--that must be a life lived with constant worry.
Soon, I'll be trudging down to the laundromat to do clothes washing, because I won't want to waste our precious and diminishing water on laundry. Paper plates, though they create trash in a landfill, are a better solution to our problem than washing dishes. Last year, I just left town for two months and avoided using any water at all!
That's not an option this year (though we'll be leaving for NY in about 2 weeks). We'll just have to dress up in feathers and skins and start doing chants in the driveway if this hot-and-dry-spell doesn't abate soon.

Well now, that may attract some locals and they may even be willing to pay for such a site!!!! You could at least charge in quarters and then you would at least have your laudromat change - or do they still take quarters?
