Catching the Rain

Opps! I guess last month marked a new low point in my blogging history.
I just started a new job (more on that to come) and have been really
busy in the off hours working with Casey 
on a couple fun projects around the "farm".
One of the first was hooking up our rain barrels, now that we are solidly
in both the growing season and hurricane season, it is good to catch it
while it is coming so you can use it when it isn't.

First, we aquired some old olive and pepper storage containers off Craigslist.  
 Then we drilled some holes in the lid to let the water through...
and added a screen so the mosquitoes couldn't get in...
 and a spigot on the bottom to attach a hose for watering
 All that was left was to hack off the gutter
 and hook it up to our new rain catcher.
Isn't it beautiful?
