[Eng] What would my perfect day be like?

My perfect day would be at home, because I feel good there, even when there are certain elements that can take away my peace, such as not having a constant supply of water; and I say that it takes away my peace, because to those who can obtain the vital liquid by simply opening the tap or the shower, (this is how it should be in every country in the world, it is normal at the moment), it will seem something distant and absurd, the fact of having to buy water that a water carrier brings to my house, in large plastic bottles, mounted on a cart. Imagine the scene and you will think that it is something so archaic in the 21st century, but it is true, and more unfortunately in a country like mine, Venezuela, where there are innumerable natural resources, including fresh water, through hundreds of rivers, (big and small), wetlands, surface and underground aquifers, there is more than enough water for the entire population of the country, but the water distribution system is destroyed by an inefficient, corrupt, criminal and evil government.

I would spend my perfect day in my house, if I had running water, with which to do all the housework, take a good, long and comforting bath, water with which to water my plants daily and have good harvests, diversify my crops and feel very happy because I can take care of them properly. Water to bathe my dogs frequently, in short, water available so that waiting for it is not an agony; canceling certain activities while waiting for the bearer to arrive with his loads of water, (and sometimes he does not bring the water home).

It would be perfect to open the faucet to wash my face and teeth and for clean, quality water to flow out, because there is another detail, in very few areas of the town recently there is piped water, but it is contaminated, so it is better not to have that "supply". It would be great to be able to have water in the kitchen to work without limitations and more easily and quickly. That day, she would cook a delicious lentil stew, perhaps a vegan lasagna, a fruit salad, and a juice from whatever fruit is in season.

In the afternoon I would like to sit in my backyard, with a hose to water the plants and trees for as long as I want, not caring that I am going to spend all the water, being in contact with nature, listening to the birds, observing all the fauna that surrounds me (I can see hawks, birds of many kinds, opossums, lizards, iguanas, turtles, insects of all kinds, even skunks), with nothing and no one bothering me. It would be great to be able to go to sleep in peace and quiet, knowing that when I wake up it won't be a dream, but when I wake up there will be water for everything I want to do. And this day, obviously, I would spend with my beloved human and animal family. As unbelievable as it sounds, that would be the perfect day for me, at this point in the year 2023.

This was my brief description of my perfect day. I have shared two photos of two plants on my backyard, an achiote plant (Bixa Orellana) or "onoto" as it is called in my country, and another banana plant. If you look carefully, both are dry, and it is precisely the product of the lack of watering, therefore, my perfect day would be a day with enough water, it is that simple. And I take this opportunity to invite my friend @edwing357 and @jessiencasa (who recently celebrated her first anniversary in Hive), to participate in this activity).
