welcome june

with june comes heat. my indulgence of my showers and teeth brushing and flowers in the desert makes me blush. we walk a fine line of wanting to be truly self-sufficient yet relying on well and electric and internet connect. after this long night of bar work, i come home to no water. no shower - no teeth brushing for the mountain mama... not tonight. i was watering today down by the greenhouse and got distracted by little ones needing a snack. left the water on the apricot tree - and from what i can calculate at 2:00 am this fine morn is that i have emptied a good 600 gallons on one tree. sad expensive lesson learned. the pump seems to be working and the water sounds to be trickling back into the reserve tank. but there is no telling what the water table is doing now in the hottest dry.est. month of the year. welcome june. you are brutality. and i should have known better ....
