- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “RAIN ON ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Tell us your favorite way to make the most of a rainy day. Do you catch a movie? Curl up with a book (or blog)? Or just sit and dream about filling up a rain barrel?

RAIN ON ME!
What do I do when it rains? Hmmm. Lately I panic because of a leak that has returned mere months after being “fixed”… :/ Hey, maybe we could use the rain barrel indoors.
These are quite nice! Thanks!

RAIN ON ME! I live in Southern Florida now (husband is USMC) from Maine. I’ve had to learn what works in Florida for gardens and what’s drought tolerant and what’s not. My 1 year old loves to water her courtyard plants, This rain barrel would be a wonderful addition to “her” courtyard! When it rains here, we watch movies, play the wii or sometimes even puddle jump! Thank you for interesting morning reads everyday with my coffee….RAIN ON ME AND SOPHIE!
