Catching rain in a bucket
RESS “When the well’s dry, we know the worth of water.” This is such a true quote by Benjamin Franklin. Our wells may not dry up, but when the electricity goes out and the water wells can’t pump the water for the plants, garden and inside-the-house uses, the value of water goes up. As the cost of electricity to run the water well increases and your plants and gardens are panting for water, the worth of water goes up. 06/28/2023 23:00
