Watery Wednesday ~ My Cup Runneth over


At last the winter rains have come, although today is the
first day of spring. all our water storage tanks are full to
overflowing, meaning that our water supply for household
needs for both houses is now secure for the next three years
with careful management. The dams are nowhere near full
yet but we are still hoping for some spring rains before the
summer dry sets in again.

  3. WOW you have your own water supply? I grew up in Asia and I really wanted a deep-well for our home coz we used to have water delivered to our home tanks! And this was in a suburb close to a city!

  4. Nice shot. It must be nice to know that your water needs are taken care of for a while. Fall's just starting to arrive where I live, with cooler nights.

  5. We so take advantage of water; living with a well I am more conscious than I used to be--DH grew up in a city and thinks it is a nonstop flow....*sigh*....
    Love the pic.

  7. A neat picture, perhaps nature will grace you with some more spring rains, fill the reservoirs and moisten the parched land.

  11. It's great that water is available for a long while & I also hope more is coming to fill the dams. Some take water for granted until they go to a place where it's not as accessible.

    Have a great week! :)

  14. 3 years of supply is impressive! Yesterday we got our first rainfall in about a month- our rainy season is only about three weeks away.

  15. How lucky we have been to fill our rainwater tanks Arija.Happy to see your recent visit and comment. I've seen Strath busy, but it was so quiet last Saturday afternoon, and the weather held out. Poor old volunteers on the train were a bit shaken by the derailment. Very disappointing for them, but made for a memorable day.
