I just got a call and the caller ID said East Bay Munici. I knew that this was EBMUD (East Bay Municipal Utilities District), our water provider. It was a taped call that reminded us that we are under drought conditions and to cut back on watering plants. Actually, it said that plants don't need extra water when it is this hot and they will recover.
I am letting my little lawn die. It came with the house. Personally, I have always wanted to replace it with something more drought tolerant. Maybe this year I can. Or next year.
I have to get DH to cut down on the time he spends in the shower. Our daughter and I take quick showers. We are out of there in 5 minutes. He spends 15. Role reversal, I think.
Anyway, the worst part is that if we do not have enough rain next year, there will be more cutbacks and more price increases next year.
We have lived here through a 7-year drought cycle when our daughter was born. Nothing in those drought years were anything like this.
Always fires, though. They are to be expected.
Buying a new low-flow toilet for one of the bathrooms this weekend.
