Did I see the sun?

Yesterday we had a day of sunshine and not rain! YIPPEE!! They are saying we have 60% chance of rain today again though. I hope that it doesn't really amount to much if anything at all.

We are still under water restrictions. The sewer system is continuing to work at capacity and the city is asking for cooperation for it's citizens. They want us to use no unnecessary water. It has really been an eye openner for me, I realize how we take water for granted and how little we really can get away with. Over the weekend I did the dishes by hand, but yesterday I did them in the dishwasher. Think that by loading it up with breakfast, morning snack, dinner, afteroon snack and supper dishes that it used less water using the dishwasher than by hand. I also use the lightest setting so that helps to. I do have laundry that I would like to do, but so far nothing cruicial. I do wonder though if it would be better to do a load here and there, rather than wait for them to lift the restriction and then everyone trying to catch up...that just might overload the system again.

With our storm of the century(that is what they are now calling what hit us) and all I have been doing very little knitting. On Sunday I did make myself sit down and work on a hat. Found that I just couldn't concentrate on it, was always watching they sky for clouds etc. Yesterday I did cast on a pair of opal socks and worked on them a wee bit while kids were playing.
