That would be the time to worry.Extreme Educatorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13620000311022586748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866800626791886600.post-87152742622691175762009-03-08T14:59:06.386-07:002009-03-08T14:59:06.386-07:00Stephen,<BR/>I saw a new rain barrel on Craig's list a couple of weeks ago for $50 but didn't jump on it. That would have been a great price! I'll have to be faster next time.Sharihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14669815930006270847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866800626791886600.post-85611803006410772552009-03-08T12:55:04.297-07:002009-03-08T12:55:04.297-07:00I got so stuck on rain barrels I forgot to say that I often find your view of nature to be fascinating and inspiring.Stephenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08547038693764445731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866800626791886600.post-70943155288274108942009-03-08T12:38:55.229-07:002009-03-08T12:38:55.229-07:00Ever consider rain barrels? Annual rainfall for Piedmont isn't that much less than for Portland (33 or so inches vs. 40 or so inches). The difference is that our seemingly perpetual precipitation tends to be somewhere between mist and sprinkle and yours is often somewhere between soaking rain and gully-washer, but occurs during far fewer days. Since you have the space, two roofs to collect from, and a barn to hide the barrels behind, why not capture that rainwater for irrigation?Stephenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08547038693764445731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866800626791886600.post-18772334729600911012009-03-08T09:29:07.019-07:002009-03-08T09:29:07.019-07:00I think you need to stop talking to the trees. You're spending too much time alone!<BR/><BR/>Love your last couple of posts. Well, I enjoy all of them, but the last few were especially enjoyable.Carihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04715945419968954583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866800626791886600.post-41942296155929586232009-03-08T06:21:30.704-07:002009-03-08T06:21:30.704-07:00I think your piknic.com bouquets look gorgeous.
