Let it Rain

Loving the new rain barrel at the back garage near the garden!



It took a bit more work than anticipated, but I think it blends in with the old nicely. Had to
  • replace some fascia boards,
  • put a fresh coat of stain on the garage,
  • add rain gutter and downspout to west side,
  • build a stand out of retaining wall blocks to maximize Mr. Gravity's help when I fill my watering can, and 
  • finish with a load of mulch.


 


This week's rain filled it to the top! Now I just need to till the garden and plant something so I can use this great water. Let it rain - but only at night during the week! LOL
