Rain
Finally, a full day of rain. The plants must be so happy- I bet they are singing. I hope the rain continues into the night because there is nothing better then falling asleep to the sound of rain falling on the roof and into the gutters.
I have been thinking a lot about collecting rainwater, so with today's weather as my inspiration, I decided to dive into the world of rain butts. There are so many cool water collecting products on the market these days; here are some models I found interesting.
Gardeners Supply Co. has a nice pop up rain barrel that is made out of flexible, puncture-resistant laminated polyester. The top mesh screen zips open for easy dipping plus it comes with a pre-installed garden hose thread and cap.
The most beautiful water butt I found was a British model which I am itching to find the distributor and carry them in the shop. It also comes in a fun green apple color. I love the cute watering can and spout!
I must say I was surprised to find such a variety of styles. For every super efficient, high tech model crafted in recycled plastic there was some over priced, over styled model. I found Corinthian columns, faux terracotta beehives, plastic granite rocks (like the ones they sell in those airline shopping magazines for people hide keys under or place over well caps), a cranky ol' log and even an Egyptian cat. But my favorite alternative design has to be the Butt Butts model, which you guessed it- is in the shape of a tush. It comes in three different flesh toned colors is and adorned with a cute tramp stamp!!
