Rain

I said I wanted rain and the weather forecast said warmer and drier. Well, you know how accurate the weather forecast is normally. Yesterday the forecast said we would get half to three-quarters of an inch. I don't have a regular rain gauge so I took my tub with straight sides and put it out in the yard away from the house and trees. I measured the water this morning and there was two and a half inches in it. I know it isn't exactly accurate but it's probably closer than the weather forecast. I need to empty the water out of the big pot with the mimosa tree in it so if it decides to freeze it won't break the little tree. I need to get dr to help me tip it because it's a big pot.

That is so typical of the weather forecasters,,lol. i remember one yr in Pa, we was forcasted to get a dusting of snow, an woke up the next day to 28 inches!!!! lol,,, your metheod is just as good as theirs is if not better,,,

 

Congratulations on you rain Dooley. We have a rain gauge, but forget to empty it most of the time.

 

Dooley, I would gladly send you some of our rain if I could. I can't even work in my yard it is so soggy.

 

That sounds like a good rain for you Dooley
