Ah, the joys of living in Florida, our chosen Southern paradise.
Feast or famine, flood or drought! One can't have everything, right?
It is past time to re-think our water management system here to safeguard Florida's future.
After a few days of welcome rain, people already want the water restrictions lifted!
It will take a lot more than a few days of rain to return to normal levels.
Let's re-think our priorities - drinking water or lush lawns? I think strict water restrictions should become the norm here since another drought is undoubtedly around the corner.
Yes, I am a homeowner with a lawn.
In the Bahamas and other parts of the world, they have a cistern system since rainfall is scarce. Perhaps homebuilders should consider making this a requirement on all new construction.
My husband and I always put out anything that can catch water when it does rain to save for watering plants, etc.
My mother always used to say, "Save for a rainy day." Or did she mean a non-rainy day?
