Rolling Out the Rain Barrels!


This weekend we rolled out the rain barrels. Last year, we bought two recycled wine barrels that were converted into rain barrels by Barrel Depot. They are absolutely beautiful! Since the weather is so severely cold here in the winter months, we have to store them over the winter to save them from cracking. Unfortunately, the incredible aroma of red wine has left the barrels.

It felt like the first true sign of spring outside our home! I can't wait to use this weekend's rain to water our already budding perennials!

Later,
Erin

  1. Any child safety issues with these. We've been considering it but Justine is pretty anxious about the safety aspect.

  2. Not that I'm aware of. Ours (and all, I believe) are well covered. Otherwise, you would get a lot of muck and garbage. Feel free to check them out next time you walk by. They've been fantastic since planting and moving many flowers this weekend.
