Glad I Cleaned The Gutters and Set Up the Rain Barrel Today

As I stood on the ladder and pulled soil out of the gutters, I thought I could get a hose and get every last speck of dirt out of there.  And then I thought that would be crazy.  Surely the next rainfall would take care of that.  And by the pile of debris on top of the screen on the rain barrel, I was right.  Thank you Mother Nature!  It's really coming down out there.

It’s great that you removed most of the debris in your gutter, since they can form a clog if left to accumulate over time. Though if you’re still having problems with clogs afterwards, it would be best to install a gutter cover, in order to prevent leaves and debris from getting in. Anyway, Mother Nature does have her ways on helping us out with our tasks, and we are truly grateful for that. At the very least, she saved you the trouble of having to climb back up there and rinse off the smaller ones off the gutter. Thanks for sharing!
