Respect for the wet stuff. Sometimes we take our water supply for granted. This is one of the many natural resources that are under strain. Public infrastructures failing. Too much rain and not enough in others. Water quality is under question.

I think I’ll donate to preserving one of my favorite pieces of water. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation is an organization one of my best friends enlightened me about.

I worry about my water supply. We are on a well. But there is a county dump up the road a few miles and that has always concerned me. I believe I’ll have it tested again. A friend of mine just put in a special filtration system on his well system. I’ll have to visit him and learn about this.

With the cool weather at night now the water temp is bound to start dipping in pools if not the ocean and bay. I see the Ocean City water temp was 74 degrees. Time to get there and get wet now unless you’re into chilly water.

I know one person who doesn’t mind it. My granddaughter, I might set up the sprinkler for her tomorrow. Because she is going to grace our house for the day and I can’t wait for that treat that is her smile and hugs. The laughs are just like a wonderful desert.

Serious thought – My grandson is 2 years old. So when I heard a 2-year-old was hit and killed by the boardwalk tram in Ocean City I haven’t been able to get that out of my mind. It was less than a month ago I was walking with him on that same boardwalk. The pain of that loss has to be unbearable for that family and my heart goes out to them.
