There are huge poster signs on very major road which displays the Level we are at. Fines are quite high for those not observing the rules, & this has been around for years. The "water police" are quite unforgiving if they catch you watering on a day or time that is not yours. I think most of, if not all Ontario is on water rules. Some towns may be wider - UMMMPatio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-64311571142127422602016-06-21T08:02:42.547-04:002016-06-21T08:02:42.547-04:00Sandra I like your idea that maybe the next shot i...Sandra I like your idea that maybe the next shot is the one that turns it around. The times are strictly observed & there are the "water police" from the township that go about the neighbourhoods to monitor & the fines are quite stiff in dollars. I am surprised to learn that Ontario seems to be the only place with - well maybe California too - such strict water rules.

We don't live that far from you (I don't think), so the watering restrictions came as a surprise to me. We haven't had any restrictions in years. We are having quite the dry spell, however, and we water the flowers nearly every day. The lawn, however, is patched with big brown spots.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510788797735066383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-90384425490187339612016-06-20T18:10:48.275-04:002016-06-20T18:10:48.275-04:00I'm sorry to hear the injections aren't wo...I'm sorry to hear the injections aren't working, I'm hoping that maybe they will suddenly kick in before surgery and that can be put off.

Interesting to hea...Happy summer! Happy bubbles! <br />Interesting to hear about your water restrictions. I have heard of similar things in other countries, but not here. Three consecutive days* without rain and we get a hosepipe ban - saves water by forcing people to use a watering can and focus their irrigation efforts. I have a water butt and also use kitchen water (from washing veggies etc.) to water tubs. (Oh, and I only shower in winter*.)<br /><br /><br />* Joke (in case you were wondering)Lady Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050899813793376037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-83173197970471015792016-06-20T16:34:04.397-04:002016-06-20T16:34:04.397-04:00As I read your bit about watering schedules, I was...As I read your bit about watering schedules, I was struck by how we have nothing like that here in the desert with our current scorching temps. We have never had water restrictions, that I can remember. Strange, huh? So sorry to hear that your Mr Man is facing an upcoming surgery. Injections in his eye cannot be much fun. What a shame for Farmer Tim, and I'm happy to know the young ones were caught and will hopefully pay for their destruction, somehow. And, BUBBLES?!?! I LOVE bubbles!!! I take them on picnics and camping and to concerts and ball games... LOVE them! :) They ARE great for stress relief and I usually take a deep (yoga) breath and then draw the exhale out for as long and slow as I can so I can blow the most amount of bubbles per wand dipping. :o) Have a great week, Mary-Lou!
