Two allergy meds in my system and I can finally get back to gardening

It's been a bad week around here.  My cottonwood allergy had been in overdrive and I've been too sick to want to do anything.  I had to take allergy medicine for the first time in my life, but I'm finally getting back to being myself.  Without the medicine, I couldn't go outside for more than 10 minutes at a time without my head feeling like it was being squeezed in a vise.  My garden looks like it's going to explode with flowers any day now judging by the number of flower buds I'm seeing on plants.  Looking good!

I finally got the stand made for the smaller rain barrel this morning.  Now I just have to figure out how to connect the two together and to the downspout.  I think I have an idea so I hope it will work.  I just need to run to the store to get some parts.
