Today is a lovely warm Saturday--perfect for doing the laundry. My neighbor stopped by on her way to do her own laundry and told me she had a dream about having her very own water.
Unlike me, she lives in a real dry cabin: she has to buy and haul all her water from The Fill in town.
I'm much luckier. My old belowground tank still has a few hundred gallons of tea-colored water for my weekly "Better Than Nothing" shower and daily washing of dishes. If it wasn't so old and full of sediment I wouldn't have to buy drinking water, but that's minor compared to true dry cabin living.
I told her that her dream is not a First World Dream, but a dream for the whole world. And then I went back to my laundry.

You are lucky you don't have to wash dirty diapers. I wonder how people with children live without running water?
ReplyDeleteLiving with or without kids is a choice just like living with or without water. If you choose kids without water, well, good for you!
