| In many parts of the world, autumn brings the replenishing rains after the hot dry summer. Now is a good time to install a rain catchment system. It can be as simple as a single rain barrel connected to a downspout from your existing roof gutters. You can then use stored rainwater for irrigating your garden or lawn. Here is a blessing for your rain barrel:
Save up for a sunny day The abundance of the rain That thunderstorms send my way For the clouds' loss is my gain. Store water like hidden seed In a barrel fat and round Fast against a future need – Then I'll pour it on the ground. Store abundance here as well Gathered from the fertile land Strengthened by this magic Spell 'Til I call it to my hand. |
