- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “RAIN ON ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Tell us your favorite way to make the most of a rainy day. Do you catch a movie? Curl up with a book (or blog)? Or just sit and dream about filling up a rain barrel?

RAIN ON ME!!!
I’ve been wanting a rain barrel for ages! I love to stay in bed and read (sans kids!) on a rainy day. And for hubby fix me breakfast in bed. Actually, who needs a rainy day?

Rain on Me!
Here in Northern Louisiana, we’ve had a remarkably DRY summer. The last rainy day the hubs and I kept our 3-year-old occupied by coloring. She chose hot pink for the barn roof, and Daddy colored his galoshes celery. It was a great way to spend a rainy afternoon…
Michele says
RAIN ON ME!
Luckily in Oregon we get plenty of rain days. I like to cuddle under a blanket and listen to the rain drops. It is so relaxing.
elisa says
RAIN ON ME! We just put in new sod in our backyard and this would HELP to cut down on our bill and save the environment by using less water :) :) On rainy days, a tv-show-on-DVDs marathon is the best!
Kristi says
RAIN ON ME!
We usually end up running around in the rain for some reason. Most recently it was a fabulous game of soccer with some of the largest rain drops I have ever seen.
Thanks for posting!

Nicole B. says
RAIN ON ME!
Seeing how I live in sunny So Cal, rainy days aer a luxury few and far between. :( Therefore, when it finally does rain (I’m talking need-to-use-the-windshield-wipers rain), I do nothing but sit looking out the window, taking it all in. Maybe I’ll enjoy a cup of coffee, but I’m perfectly blissful with just the rain! :)

St says
RAIN ON ME!
I love rainy days! Sometimes just because it gets me out of taking the kids swimming and I don’t have to water the garden! I love the sound and the smell and I love to take the kids out after the rain to find worms.
Lindsey says
“RAIN ON ME!” If by chance I am at home on a rainy day, I love to turn the air down low, get in my bed, and proceed to nap. If I’m not at home, then I am probably at work dreaming about turning the air down low, getting in my bed, and proceeding to take a nap.

RAIN ON ME!!!
It’s been so long since it’s rained here (serious drought going on right now) I’ve almost forgotten what it’s like! But any rain we could catch would be fabulous!
I do like to do some crafts with the kiddo when the super rainy days come though. Now, if the rain would just come….

RAIN ON ME! My wife and I would love to have this rain barrel. I hate to admit it, but at the moment, we aren’t very green. We think about being green all the time, but just haven’t followed it with action. This rain barrel would be a great jump start to a green lifestyle.

Kyle A. Franklin says
RAIN ON ME!
I have two favorite ways to spend a rainy day. Early in the morning, I love to go for a long run–at least 5 miles. I am constantly refreshed and love the smell of fresh rain (we get a lot here in Washington State).
After I have come home and cleaned up, I love to spend some time on my (covered) patio with a book (especially if it is David Sedaris), listening to the raindrops on the leaves of the trees that surround my home.
Karen says
Rain on me! Love to read a good book on a rainy day.
