Yup it’s a fancy pre-made professional rain barrel which means you all can jump on the collect-your-own-rainwater bandwagon with us without even having to go barrel diving like I did.

Oh and you can learn more about these amazing pre-made rain barrels on the Rain Barrel Company website since the winner gets their pick of the bunch:

- 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?

Letty says
RAIN ON ME! I like to watch the rain from my couch near my balcony while reading– I live on the beach so I get a really good view of the lightening and the water gets crazy during a good storm. Very cool.

As long as it is not thundering or lightning outside the kids strap on the swimsuits and we splash around in the puddles in the driveway! We also like to stand under the overflow from our gutters and pretend they are waterfalls. RAIN ON ME!

I’ve been craving a rain barrel and these are functional and beautiful! Awesome contest!!
I love rainy days even more now that we got our window well drains installed last week (no more wet basement – woohoo!) Previously, I spent every rainy day panicking that my window wells were filling up so I’m very much looking forward to being able to relax and watch a movie when it rains :)

My favorite way to spend a rainy day is cleaning the house. I know it sounds weird, but if I can’t go outside, I might as well get something productive done inside, right?
Nicole says
RAIN ON ME! A perfect rainy day: baking cookies with mellow music in the background and then piling them high on a plate and curling up on the couch with my husband. We’d watch an old movie– or maybe an Arrested Development marathon… either way, coziness and no work!
Michelle says
RAIN ON ME! What kind of rainy day are we talking about? Warm? Cold? I’ll answer to both:
On a warm rainy day, I love to sit out on the covered porch and watch the rain. And listen to it.
On a cold rainy day, I like to stay inside with my Essential Calvin & Hobbes and a cup of hot cocoa. And maybe something fresh-baked.

Myranda says
RAIN ON ME!!
Catch up on magazines and lay on the couch!!
Piper says
“RAIN ON ME!”
And I’m not going to lie, I immediately thought of Miss Hilary Duff. That’s a bad thing, right? My fave thing to do on rainy days is definitely curl up with my laptop & some blogs & a book or two.
