Water and chicken


Here's a scary fact for those who like to water that ubiquitous, useless, non-crop plant called grass:

A single lawn sprinkler, spraying 5 gaIlons of water per minute, uses more water in an hour than 10 toilet flushes, plus two five-minute showers, plus 2 dishwasher loads, plus 1 full washer load of clothes. 300 gallons for the sprinkler, and for all the rest combined--200 gallons.

And speaking of water, thought I'd post a photo of CH who almost drowned in the geese's water tub.
