The rain may drive us all a bit bonkers,
but it is a gift from Mother Nature and
I am thankful for all the rain as it nurtures
our trees, bushes and flowers along with
giving us water to save and share with the
birds and assorted mammals that live
along with us. The deer, birds, squirrels, racoons,
possums and other animals flourish with the water.
Our French friends have taught me about
saving water in large containers such as
plastic garbage cans or large buckets.
They have the gutters from the house directly
filling up all the many large containers in their
backyard and over the rainy winter they
harvest so much rain! So much that
in the summer when they are not home I and
the neighbors use buckets of water to care for all
of the trees, bushes and flowers that need attention.
What a brilliant idea! We will be doing this also.
It makes total sense!
