Last Thursday I had a sister put in rain barrels for me. I had complained that our Stanwood Water Bill had gone up because of a change in rates. I talked of not having a garden this year. She came over drilled the holes in the 55 gallon barrels and hooked up the green thing which attaches to the downspout to divert into the barrels.
They are on tires and wood to balance them out.
IN FOUR DAYS IT RAINED 125 GALLONS OF WATER. WE CAME BACK FROM OUR TRIP TO TRI-CITIES AND THEY WERE OVERFLOWING. I ATTACHED A HOSE TO THE TOP OVERFLOW SPIGOT AND DIVERTED THE WATER TO THE STREET.
THE MISSIONARIES HELPED ME DISCONNECT THE HOSES WITH A PLIER AND INSERT THE WOOD. I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE OF THE ONE 55 GALLON DRUM LEANING TO THE RIGHT. IT WAS SO HEAVY IT CAUSED THE TIRE TO ALMOST COLLAPSE.
WHERE OH WHERE IS SPRING? HAS SHE GOTTEN LOST ON HER WAY HERE?
