Look Down My Rain Barrel, Slide Down My Cellar Door...

First thing tomorrow I'm calling the City of Bellingham. They offer rain barrels for only $25.00. According to the instructions, all you have to do is add a faucet, and overflow hole with a grate, and you're done. Hubby says it'll be easy to do. One more step toward a sustainable garden.  How cool is that?

Which...reminds me of a sweet little song from the 1940's that mom used to sing to me; it goes like this...


Oh little playmate, come out and play with me

And bring your dollies three.

Climb up my apple tree,

Look down my rain barrel

Slide down my cellar door

And we'll be jolly friends forever more.
