COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

I can’t imagine not having water readily available.. we truly are spoiled in the US I think.
Happy Monday Carol!

We do have it readily available however we cannot just water our gardens because we have to keep in mind that our dams are not at 100% capacity and we are going into summer. But also since we went through the drought last year and had the heavy restrictions, I must admit that I cringe when I see all the water that gets wasted. i.e. the water from our showers, and laundry going down the drain. I would love to set up a nice grey water system so that I can use that water for my gardens instead, but I really just don't have that kind of cash available. It would cost us a minimum of $3500 to set it up. All our cash goes to my sons university fees at the moment, and when he is done it will be the youngest sons turn. It never ends.

Time for another barrel.

Yes most definitely. I am trying to find one that I can get which will hold a much bigger capacity without breaking my bank.

In the first 15 days of October here in Maryland we received roughly 0.025 inches of water = drought like. In the last two weeks, we were submerged with over 5 inches! Famine or Feast!

Your barrel must be completely full now as well.

I saw this and thought of you Heather. Hopefully the snippy tool works otherwise this will just be a very confusing post for Heather.

aaarrrrrggggghhhh It did not allow me to post the pic. It was a pic of a Bulldog, saying:

Happy Tueday
Today I will FOCUS on what matters.....
and let go of what clearly doesn't

And the Bulldog has a butterfly on it's tongue.

Maybe we can do it this way.:

Hello all!
This week-end I visited the turtle/tortoise rescue center again.
So nice to speak of our hobby and see lot of animals!

It’s all full now, but unfortunately, the outdoor growing season is over. :-( so no need for all the water. The rain has helped our trees & lawn. I did use 2 whole gallons of fresh rain water to do a partial water refresh on our aquarium and watered indoor plants, but the season is over.

So it's working for you!

Yep! Looks to be working

 

[Yvonne G]

Let me try one:

Nope. I get the error.

 

[Yvonne G]

That was from my Kindle. Now I'm trying from my computer:

Nope - error!

 

[Maro2Bear]

Interesting. These are recent photos and uploading from my iPad...

One more test.

Hhmmmm, now it’s not!

 

[Yvonne G]

I think it may depend upon how many pixels the pictures are saved at (O-o-o-o-o oh no! I ended my sentence with a preposition! Shame, shame!)

 

[Maro2Bear]

Let me try the persimmon pix again.

Nope - same pix as above won't load.

Back to Broken. :-(
