Rain on me! So here in hot, no make that scorching, Arizona, you might think we don’t have much need for rainbarrels. However, we actually do get rain here! On a rainy day, I love to sit on the porch and watch the lightning and listen to the thunder. We have awesome monsoons here in the summer. In the winter when it rains, there is no better time for baking, making soups and stews, and listening to good music.

Vicky says
Rain on Me! please!!!
My favorite way to spend a rainy day depends on my mood. Sometimes I love to use it as an excuse to stay curled up in bed in my pjs watching movies all day with my husband…and others I go on cleaning frenzies. I also take advantage of the time with scrapbooking or doing some DIY stuff that I’ve been planning.
:)
Tina says
RAIN ON ME!
How ironic! My husband recently discovered your blog (we are O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D)and were so inspired to stop letting good rain go to waste that we are currently barrel hunting. Unfortunately hunting with little success so we would be THRILLED to win a FREE barrel that looks snazzy.
Recently our favorite rainy day activity seems to be saving our outside projects with tarps and masking tape :) We just bought our first house and are in the process of making over our back yard and turning it into an official wildlife.
I think we should win the barrel :)
