Sometimes, you get lucky


On Wednesday of last week our family went to the first weekly Andersonville Farmers' Market, which operates on Wednesday afternoons on Berwyn Avenue between Ashland and Clark--that is to say: right beside our church. A small affair at the moment, but it seems to be expanding if this week's number of vendors and patrons was any indication. Anyway, there was a drawing for a free rain barrel, selected by pulling out a random business card from a fish bowl.

As you might guess from the picture above, I won it! I've never won anything significant in a drawing or raffle in my life, so I was mightily pleased. We've now installed it under the drainpipe on the east sidse of our house, and it's already seen action in a light rain. It collected probably 20 gallons (it holds 55 gal at full capacity), and I've used some of it for watering the gardening.

Pretty cool...
