About 6 hours before the 5-day deluge us New Englanders had last week, Chris jumped into action at about 9 PM (inspired by the oncoming weather and a little encouragment from me) and installed our first ever rain barrel, designed to draw water from a down spout, into a large barrel wth a spigot at the bottom to which you can attach a garden hose. I'm not sure how many gallons of water the barrel contains but I can tell you that once installed by Chris, the barrel was full within about 8 hours. That, combined with our composter, are just a couple of ways Chris has "harnessed" nature to his liking and us McNamaras are liking what we're seeing.
