Post by annie oakley »

For all of you that are getting way too much rain and don't want it....please go outside and do a rain dance and send it all over to West Texas and Central Texas. We will take it.......all of it :raincloud: you don't want. I am waiting for my quail cover to come up and it need some more rain. Not to mention My pond is not very full right now. It's 6:20 pm and it is 95Deg. Well family I am about to go and :bath2: and get my work clothes ready for tomorrow. :pcguru: get the :coffee: ready to auto make in the morning. I finished one :knitting: and have another 1/3 done. Well all have a great evening. And be careful Love to all Oma :pulsinghearts:

Hi Oma. We are in drought here, probably the worst in 100 years. We are on level 2 restriction at the moment & are going on level 3 in a few days. That means no hosing, only watering with buckets & other restrictions. We have only been able to hose our plants between 7pm & 7am on alternate days for some time but the new restrictions will be much tighter. Although they have had lots of rain accompanying the cyclones up north there has been little rain down here & practically none in the dam catchment areas. We have a rainwater tank & use it for all out drinking water, tea, coffee & cooking so we are pretty lucky there. We also recycle our bath & shower & washing water & use it on our back garden so the plants there are not looking too bad. We have a special microfibre cloth that we can use with just a bucket of water to wash our cars too. Every little bit helps I expect.
Hope we both get some rain soon.

Love

Liz

Liz,

It's the same over here. We're not on water rationing at the moment, but those guys up north keep gettin' all the rain. We'll probably be back on rationing pretty soon, the way things are going.

Love,
Wayne

Tex is right. I have a 2500 Gal water tank that we fill every 6 mo. Costs us 25$ for 2500 Gal of water. We are in a drought here as well. I see hay grazer comin up in the fie,d, but only because of the little rain we have had, Still haven't seen Quail cover growing yet,
Mike is MFG wood racks in the shap of the Lone Star of Texas out of scape aron he has around the place. He made a proto type that he is going to try and drun up busines for, wouldn't it be nice if he could sell those. We haven't got the price right yet, but we will. Love Oma
