    Rain, rain, come my way!

    The thunder yesterday sounded encouraging, but the storm dropped so little water that I felt I still needed to lug around the watering can again.

    It's been so dry (how dry was it?) that I've used up all the water in both rain barrels and I'm filling the watering can from the house tap. Sigh. It feels so wasteful! I've almost - almost, mind you - been tempted to hook up a sprinkler.

    In the category of wasteful, sprinklers score a capital W for Wasting Water. Why? Find my Monday post at Green Spot-On for more detail.
