The farm house has an old standing seam metal roof. This type of roof was common 100 + years ago prior to asphalt shingles and air nailers. Rain makes a particularly comforting sound on a metal roof. It creates a special kind of white "noise" which will put one to sleep even if you are restless. Sometimes, during dry spells, the rain on the metal will wake you up long enough to celebrate the welcome moisture.
Catching rain off the roof for use later reduces the need to water plants with chlorinated city water or running one's well pump. This saves water and carbon.
