Rainwater collection is not too popular out here. With the winter storms and summer monsoon bringing loads of precipitation there is definitely potential for collecting a ton of water should one have storage and gutters.

I met a local who does collect. Even in this extremely arid area he says he hasn’t had to buy water since putting in his system.

The truth is Zeke can consume some almond butter. Can be just like that, plus jam or perhaps raisins. Or marshmallows, and toast is great too. Almond butter absolutely makes for a larger percentage of my calories than any other food.

There are 4 additional jars in the right drawer under the port side slide out fridge. We must be careful as differences in the almonds or the roasting or something do make for a short The Sufficiently Excellent list, aka ones tasty enough to buy again. Then there are also jars and jars of the jewel of strawberry jams. It’s a heavy and expensive and scrumptious drawer.
