Bad, Bad Girl

I am a bad girl. After yesterday's thunderstorm (yes, lightning and thunder and heavy rain!), I hooked up my rain barrel. I know it's too soon, but I wanted all that beautiful fresh rain. Later in the spring, the rain washes tree pollen off the roof, turning my rain barrel water green--a side effect of living in the woods. Now I will carefully watch the temps since I don't want a cracked rain barrel!
