Rain Barrel and Baby chicks
I ordered and picked up a rain barrel this weekend. We only had one rain after I got it and it was already full! My daughter has been using it to water her chickens and ducks. It is so nice to have an alternative source of water. Not that our water is all that expensive here, but with watering all our animals and gardens and now an orchard, I can imagine what our water bill will be like. Also, we are coming up on the season when we are only supposed to water every other day according to town ordinances. I am hoping that our rain barrel will help us through some dry times too. I will make a plug for the company that I purchased it from The Great American Rain Barrel Company. There is a local woman fondly called RI Waterlady who is a local distributor for them. I wanted to pick it up rather than have it shipped so I searched the internet for quite a while looking for a local source. I liked talking with her and she even gave me some advice about my son's orchard.
Also new this week is the hatching of my daughter's baby chicks! She had started breeding two types of chickens together as a genetic experiment. The wonders of homeschooling! Thus far she has 14 chicks hatched with another potential 12 over the next week. |
