We haven't had much rain lately, but this week that's supposed to change. And rain barrels can help keep that water out of hte storm drains and instead be available for hydrating parched lawns and gardens. On Tuesday, Aug. 7, the Parks and People Foundation will be showing folks how to install the barrels. The cost is $50 and incldues all the materials. The event will be at the foundations' building, 800 Wyman Park Drive, Suite 010, Baltimore. For mroe information, call 410-448-5663.

About the bloggers

Rona Kobell reports on the Chesapeake Bay, and in her seven years with The Sun, she's visited clam farms in Virginia, a peeler pen on Taylors Island and a small market on Smith Island that serves what many people consider the best crab cake in the world (to judge for yourself, head to the Drum Point Market in Tylerton). Rona enjoys hanging out with her husband and daughter.

Tom Pelton writes about the environment and has been at The Sun for 10 years. He lives in the city with his wife, two daughters, and an exotic ecosystem that involves a cat, hamsters, hermit crabs, cacti, running shoes, drums, guitar, violins, mild cheeses and strong opinions.

Tim Wheeler writes about growth and base-realignment for The Sun. A reporter and editor here since 1985, the West Virginia native has spent most of his adult life around the bay. He lives in Catonsville, one of Baltimore's older, walkable suburbs.
