Well, it's Friday night and Betsy is in bed playing some game on her laptop, eating Wheat Thins, I am in bed Blogging, eating a Peanut butter sandwich. Mitsy has her little head laying on my pillow waiting for the last bite of my sandwich which she knows she will get. Now that is over \maybe she will go to sleep. Now she moved and put her face on the edge of my laptop. Wait just a bit while I get her settled.
She is not spoiled.
Let's seenow what did I do today. i went to see my JUNK Dealer and looked at some 55 Gal. drums. I am going to get three drums and make 'Rain Barrels' using these 55 gal barrels. I am going to place the barrel so that I can direct the down spout from the Gutter system into the barrels which I have put on a raised stand. I have inserted a water faucet close to the bottom of the barrel there by saving rainwater to be used for flower beds, flower containers, small vegetable garden, thus saving on our utillity cost. I will have to clean the barrels and paint them so they will not stand out. I will also landscape in such a way to hide the barrels.

Be sure to find rain barrels which offer mesh mosquito guards, and also look for barrels which have overflow valves-allowing the excess water to flow out of the rain barrels and away from your foundation. Hooking a drip hose to this valve is a great way to give your garden or flower bed a constant source of moisture. http://www.gardensupermart.com/store/rain-barrels.php
