Rain!

For the first time in weeks our water level increased.

Total rain--so far--is under 20 mm. It started raining Thursday morning and kept raining through Friday. It's Saturday morning and still a bit of rain is falling. Yeah!

I doubt we'll see the float hit the full line again--unless we buy a truckload of water.

We read the real-estate section in the local paper. Lucy noticed that a selling point for some Waiheke homes is "extra-large roof" or "roof extended." Some newer homes have stylish car ports--tied into the rain collection system.
