The boys donated the money they saved for charity to provide water and wells. I think we were all changed by last summer. I still marvel at the rain, mud and the rising lake levels. It feels like a miracle. I hope it continues, but we will never be the same after watching the trees and animals suffer. I would love to have some rain collection barrles- mothers day next year? This year I am asking for some more fruit trees. Love it! The boys donated the money they saved for charity to provide water and wells. I think we were all changed by last summer.

To see so many huge, old trees just dying was devastating. I'm so happy that we've had so much rain this year...well except for all of the mosquitoes that have come with it.

(Have you ever seen a child try to bathe in cocoa butter lotion to get clean? Heartbreaking.) We installed a rainwater collection barrel and are researching ways to have a water-conserving yard. We are sticking with the eco-conscious dirt/mud until then. Thanks for the reminder that water preservation is a team sport! PS: I wash my hair no more than 2x a week. Gross? I say eco-friendly!
