Grateful really, for all this rain! Now if a Santa Ana doesn't blow and suck it all back out again over the next week we'll be reaaally thankful! We saved Three barrels of water. I intend to up that to six. Next is an above ground Cistern.
Water madness comes next, with a Narrow Water Tower on the hill for natural flow! We can disguise it with a few fake Palms or Spruces, like a modern phone tower* there you go, a shade forest that requires no water to maintain, and a water storage system! Or, maybe THIS, with plastic flowers and artificial turf replacing the Tort's little "playground". They eat any flowers I plant over there in the "flat". Actually, I'm thankful for the ability to laugh, and to plant more cactus. That will teach them to mow down my flowers.
Sound like a plan to me! Now to convince Mr. Z.

So glad that you finally got some rain. Spoke with my brother yesterday, central coastal region, and they were also very grateful for the end of the drought.
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy. The drought may not be over but this is a good start on it. Some more sprinkles are expected from this storm, though it has been sunny part of this day and is sunny down by the coast. I'm hoping we got ten feet of snow in the Sierras, which is really a ridiculous amount for one storm but Hope is as Blind as Love, eh?
ReplyDeleteRain looks like good news. My sister is over at Yorba Linda and I am hoping she does not float away. Still that's (a bit) better than burning up.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I hope she doesn't float away, too! Some places in LA County got really hit hard. Our river swelled up well enough to have the fire rescue guys busy with one rescue at least. Someone tried to walk across it to Mission Valley. It moves fast through it's riverbed that's been paved over with parking lot. Bureaucrats! hehe Another story for another time. We needed that prime farm land!
