I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

The Bill

 The electricity bill came on Friday.
I wasn't happy to see this amount staring me in the face:

Last quarter's bill was only $81.49 and that was
a late winter-early spring bill.
Mind you that was with the solar panels connected
but without the new meter to measure
how much electricity they generated.
Therefore, we paid for what we used off the grid, 
but weren't reimbursed for what we fed back.

So taking this into account, 
the new bill seemed ridiculously excessive.

Ah, but then I spotted those lovely little letters - cr
next to the amount.
That's a credit!
It is how much they owe us,
not the other way around.

Not bad eh?
Gotta love solar power.
