Rain Barrel

My hand-me-down rain barrel now collects rain from two segments of gutters, and sends overflow through tubes buried in the garden. At least... that's how it works when it's not overflowing from summer deluges.

Midwest Rain

This is the difference between Seattle rain and Midwest rain... with Midwest rain - and wind and thunder and lightning - it seems like the world is ending. With never-ending Seattle rain, you just wish it would hurry up and end already.

Turns out my tent shelter isn't really built for Midwest rain. It very nearly blew away, since someone didn't think stakes were necessary.
