Catching the rain


After it's first test this morning, it looks like the rain barrel is working. A little over a half-inch of rain in a 45-minute storm filled the barrel in less than 30 minutes. Now I just have to be sure to keep the gutters clean which means getting on the ladder about 5 times each year. Maybe get one for each downspout? Time will tell...
