Weather Watching

One of the Lone Star Baby's Christmas gifts was a rain gauge, partly inspired by the one I saw at her school and partly inspired by this story on LiteraryMama.com. We have fastened it to the back fence in the backyard and the Lone Star Baby and I walked up to H-E-B and bought a little pocket planner. Now, she's checking the gauge every evening and recording each day's rainfall (so far all zero) inches in her calendar. It's a two-year calendar, so I wonder how far she'll take it. It seems like a great little project to me - science and nature - groovy.
