9/30/15—Wednesday
morning. It is raining! Before moving here rain or no rain was not
such a big issue. But now it is. We are supposed to keep the lawns at this rental
house green, and that means using water.
Water is expensive. We want to
cut down on our burn rate. We have
turned off the automatic sprinkler system.
We collect our used water in buckets and then use that water for the
plants. At the same time we are afraid
that the owner will come unannounced—he has one garage opener—and will find out
that we have the sprinkler system turned off; he won’t like it. So, during the day I turn the system on, even
when it is scheduled to water the landscaping around 3 am. Also, since we are not that good in covering
every corner of the front and backyard grass with the recycled water, we can
see patches of brown grass. Now that it
is raining, hopefully those patches will turn green too. Rain is great. It has given me the best joy of this day.
