OK, Mary! Time to develop your nascent psychic abilities, or cause rainstorms with a single whim, or pull the Golden Gate Bridge off its pins and re-route it to Alcatraz. None of that happening? Then how's about eating gourmet food outside on a pleasant afternoon……... It's all in what you want.
I'd personally choose the rain-creation route myself, but I am soooooo sensitive to my sprinkler costs. But it won't be a problem starting on the 24th here in Austin. They are making us go down to once-a-week sprinkling on a designated day or face a $400 fine. My green yard will crisp. I do like the sun though.
Andy the accountant did graduate yesterday, magna honors at all. I was given the privilege of waiting up for him until 2:30am to make sure he returned alive to reap advantage from his new academic position. Parents never die, they just nag away!
Love,
Milt

Hey Milt,
Congrats on the offspring finshing the degree with honors. It is always a proud parental moment when that happens.
As for the lawn, we have a third of an acre here in northern California and we have minimized lawn to a small patch in front and a small patch in back. Otherwise, we have drought resistant plants on a drip system. The previous long drought taught that lesson!
And, yes, Mary's mental powers are amazing. More impressive than levitating the Golden Gate bridge, she has managed to actually get me into the kitchen where I have (count them) learned how to empty the dishwasher, load the diswasher, clear the table, cut veggies, cut fruit, cut meat and chicken and fish, cook on a stove top, cook in the oven, prepare whole entire meals (not too fancy) and I even know where the supplies of canned goods, fresh veggies and fruit, spices, arcane kitchen utensils and (hold your breath) Italian cooking oils are located! This girl has mind power!
