It rained a little bit last night so I ran to the rain barrel this morning to look at the catch. Looks like about 20 gallons, which is way more than I expected from the tiny amount of rain we got. The only problem is, the water looks like tea. It likely is a tea of sorts... water steeped in the pine needles and branches that clog our gutters.
I suppose it's also possible that this is general filth from the roof, as it's been a very dry summer and lots of pollen and debris and so forth have been sitting up there for a long time. I'll probably drain this water off and clean the gutters and see if we can't collect some cleaner water next rainy day.
