When there is “water, water everywhere & not a drop to drink” it can be scary. Rainfall should be stored away for a dry day. We know drought comes & goes. But like the story of Joseph…we need to save it when we get the chance. We plan on buying 2 rain barrels to collect rain water from our roof for all my flower, veggie, herbs, rose, fruit gardens.

    We do have a rainwater tank – but it is fast emptying…

      When the water is low & scarce, I feel very stressed. I feel the stress like it is coming from the trees & plants that surround my home. We had a drought in the South that lasted for three years. Finally, we’ve gotten our water back to where it once was. I hope we’ve all learned to catch it when it comes down as rain. I hope you have rains come soon. ~amy

        thanks Amy. You’ve expressed how I am feeling – for the trees that are drooping and dying…
