The first Rose of Spring

It's barely spring and we already have our first rose! I cut it this evening on the way back from paying the waterbill. could our ancestors believe we pay for water?

Would they think it was a good deal? I mean it was free for Great Granpappy Zebadiah, but he had to hike down to the river and haul it ack in a bucket. One bucket at a time. It might take an hours work for 5 gallons of water and we pay about a tenth-of-a-cent per gallon for it to come into our house. If you make twenty dollars an hour and it takes an hour to get five gallon buckets from the river to your house that would be $5 per gallon.

Sounds like we got zeb beat all to heck on the cost of water - and there's hardly any bugs in it either!
