While the weather is becoming wetter and the rain clouds start rolling in, I like to look at the brighter side of things. The streets aren’t flooded quite yet, or turning to ice, and the rain does wonders to bring out the smell of the fallen leaves or leftover vestiges of grass. So break out the umbrellas and rejoice! Rain does not ruin your day, even though the sun may not come out. Think of all the great ways rain helps you: it cleans off your car and your windows, helps lull you to sleep in your cozy bed at night, and waters the potted plants that still survive outdoors. But what else can you do to take advantage of the rain? Why not try the time-old tradition of rain barrels, placed strategically under your runoff roof pipes, to use the water for indoor houseplant watering or baths for your pets or outdoor furniture.
Here are some of the top, stylish, functional rain barrels for you to take advantage of nature’s splendor this holiday season:
