Today I got to combine 2 domestic tasks related to water: 1) topping off the water in the hand-wash station and foot-wash station just outside the front door; and 2) refreshing the emergency drinking-water supplies as we move into hurricane season.
In rainy season, the little outdoor hand-wash and foot-wash stations get refilled from the rainwater tubs. So much fresh clean rainwater constantly flowing in the typical Florida summer rainy season! Rainwater is delightful and great for the skin. You can feel the smoothness on your skin and it’s lovely.
But sometimes, like now, summer is in full gear and yet the rains are not arriving.
So, today I hit upon the idea of refilling the hand-wash / foot-wash stations from the emergency drinking-water jugs that we keep in the house. And then I refilled those emergency drinking-water jugs from the kitchen tap.
Today I was only refreshing the 1-gallon emergency drinking-water jugs; haven’t tackled the big 6-gallon jugs yet. If we go for more than a few more days without rain, the water from the big 6-gallon jugs will be emptied around the fruit trees etc., then we will refill those big jugs from the bathtub faucet.
