Get your rain barrels NOW....

Moby Rain Barrel Sale.....
If you live in the Knoxville area PLEASE pass this along to everyone you know. This is a great buy on a fabulous rain barrel. I plan on getting a couple more myself.

top 5 Reasons to Harvest Rainwater
  • Protect our rivers and streams from runoff pollution
  • Divert water from the municipal storm drain system
  • Conserve this vital natural resource and reduce water bills
  • Use the rain water to grow healthy and lush plants
  • Control moisture levels around the foundation of your home

An average sized rain barrel will be completely full during a moderate rain shower in about 15-20 minutes so link them together for maximum water storage.

Need something to do this weekend? Visit Earthfest. You can pick up your Moby there and have a great time being outdoors with your family. ADMISSION IS FREE!!!

Not in the Knoxville area? We offer the Palmetto rain barrel and free shipping at Nioka Green Store. This is the first rain barrel we owned. We carry it because it is a great size and ships via UPS.

Other rain barrels, including the Moby have to ship via freight carrier which typically makes the cost prohibitive unless you purchase it through a non profit such as Water Quality Forum. They are able to sell them at a lower cost than I can purchase them wholesale which is why I am HIGHLY recommending to everyone that they get one now.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. Get outside and do SOMETHING!

Big Hugs, Renee'

THANK YOU God




I've been in Hogskin Valley a couple of times this week so I am feeling especially blessed.
We've had a great Spring Break. I've been working on a trash to treasure project (metal chairs), spending extra time with my favorite little four year old, spending time with a couple of dear friends and basking in the serenity of Hogskin Valley. Yay! What a week.

And to top it all off....you know you have been blessed when you come home totally filthy...no make-up, hair a wreck, dust from sanding all over you....excited because you used an angle grinder for the first time and your husband thinks your cute. Not only does he think I'm cute....he did the laundry too! Seriously! Thank you God for putting an amazing man in my life!


Heres a preview of the beginning phase of one of my trash to treasure projects. This is a metal chair that was headed to the dump (GASP!) until I rescued it. YAY!!!! I warned you I see beauty in some of the strangest things. I can't wait to show you the finished product.


Sorry I only have one pic to show you. This would be soooo much easier if I actually knew an easier way to post pics. Bear with me as I figure all this stuff out.
I'm sure my friend Jessica can help me.
