Thanks to dad Tim C., we now have an official rain gauge! Tim brought one of his graduate students over to install – the biggest challenge was finding a spot that had 360 degree unimpeded access – I guess we have more stuff on our playground than we thought! We waited and waited and waited, but it finally rained so we could measure and it was worth it, as we had nearly a half an inch the first time we read it. So now our kids will learn a new measurement word – millimeters. Thanks, Tim – we’re sure this will be a popular visiting spot from now on as long as we can keep it mulch-free (an inside joke)
