Care for Water. "Think of all the ways you enjoy water in a day, from taking a nice hot shower to walking around a lake or sipping water with a meal. Are there ways you can help to conserve water? Any leaky faucets that need new washers? How about participating in an organized stream or beach clean-up? You wouldn't, of course, be pouring any toxic things into your street gutters, now would you? And there are certainly plenty of ways to reduce you water use at home, like watering plants at the end of the day, not leaving the shower water running while you talk on the phone, and not running loads of laundry that are only half full."
We live on a small, natural, stinky-in-the summer lake; I love our lake, despite it's smell in the heat of July and August. It provides a multitude of facades, ranging from the still, bleak, wintry pool of gray to a shimmering, lively, lake of summer teeming with waterfowl. It's amazing how many colors one lake can appear depending on the weather. At this point in our economy and housing market, the view of Mrs. Misty Lake is likely keeping our home's value "afloat."
Even as I write, you can hear our resident toad croaking away. Below are a few photos of our lake, as you can see, she has quite a way with color...
