Ending and Beginning

Not much to say except we need it badly. Rain barrels are almost empty, so watering with well water. Being a prepper, that makes me think: "What would we be doing if there weren’t any electricity?"

The answer, of course, is that we’d be getting water from the river. That would be very hard work, but if it’s a difference between doing that and starving next winter, I think we’d get it done.

Yesterday, two different sets of storms passed just to our south. We got a very few drops from the second set. Nature can be such a tease.

I’m collecting water in a bucket in the shower again, getting a gallon or two from each shower. Not much, but it’s otherwise completely wasted.
