Blessings of Rain Water

At this Season, we are going through a lot of Rain Water. We have a whole Crowd of Seedlings inside needing a steady source of Nourishing Water from the Earth Mother herself. Plus, we have a host of House Plants too.

Our Green Companions know the difference between the Water that Comes through Pipes and Tubes and Rain Water which falls from the Sky. They show that difference through their Health and Vitality. You can almost hear them spitting out the Water that comes through Pipes and Tubes at just the Thought. Desiring to treat our Green Companions with the Respect they are due as Living Beings and knowing they are the basis for our own Health and Vitality too, we 3 Humans make no substitutions here.

We are continually scanning the amounts of Rain Water that we have in back-up. With 7 Food Grade 5 Gallon Buckets, our capacity is at about 35 Gallons. When we are close to being "out", we watch the Skies very carefully. The Empty Buckets sit in cue on the West Porch. When the Rains come, Richard heads out to tuck the Buckets one by one under the Down Spout until they are full.

The Rain Barrels will not make their appearance known until we are out of danger of Frosts or Freeze. We should be able to set them out April 25. That will be a Great Day, because then we can sit with 75 to 135 Gallons in Reserve. These days, we are grateful for the 35 Gallons which we collect.

The Rains came today and the Humans could be seen scurrying about. The Little Seedlings and House Plants could observed exhibiting their own expressions of Gratitude and Joy.
