Water Issues

Not my garden but me. I think I have water issues. It started raining this past Saturday night and it just stopped about an hour ago. That's about 24 hours of rain.  I live in semi-arid country east of the Cascades and we get about 9" of rain a year here. Whenever it rains I'm usually finding a way to save a little of it. I just can't help it. I haven't gone all out and planned to collect it, which is what I'm sure I'll end up doing some day, but I toss a bucket or a rubbermaid tote under the dripping eaves. I'll go out in the pouring rain when the bucket fills and frantically look for some other container to dump it into.
I have a lot of totes outside right now from my ugly greenhouses and now they're all full of water.
