Rain barrel

I took my birthday money and bought a rain barrel this year. How very grownup of me, huh? I was super excited about this rain barrel. Our well has been getting super low these past couple years in the summer. We get plenty of rain in the spring, so I thought that being able to collect it to be able to water the garden. Unfortunately, there were some delays in getting my rain barrel and we only had one good rainfall since I got it. I thought I had a decent amount of water in the rain barrel and when I checked it was practically empty. I’m not sure if the spout on the bottom is leaking or what.

We are very low on water right now, and there’s no water in my rain barrel. The ground in spots is starting to crack. I’ll figure this rainbarrel out. And next it will be full.
