went outside and flipped the two rain barrels… one in the garden, and the new one next to the front flowerbed…

although we had drained both, they still had water inside, but once they were turned over, it poured out through the screen…

now they are ready for winter, sigh…

I learned a few years ago that not flipping them can cause serious consequences… lucky for me, the bottom of the one in the garden has returned to flat, lol…
