rain rain go away come again another day-or not

Lucky for me I have the best husband in the world- he hooked up my rain barrel this afternoon. I recently read an article that claimed one man who had eight rain barrels was able to capture some 4,000 gallons of rain water in a single season. I don't know about you, but with increasing examples of global warming and drought, I'll be happy to fill my 52 gallons and my plants will be happy too.
