Cleaning Gutters in the Rain








It finally rained over an inch here. We have months and months of drought conditions. The day before, knowing we had 40% chance, I made sure all the rainwater collection system valves were in the right place. At 2 a.m., I was awakened by the sound of water falling from the roof to the path outside the bedroom window. I got up and realized a downspout was blocked up. I got the ladder and an umbrella and freed it up. I think I collected several thousand gallons almost topping off the 7,500 gallon system. This is a pencil sketch from the morning.
