Ox-eyed Daisy
Winter Gardens (a plant nursery) was open on the 4th of July. The 'bonus bucks' I had earned when I picked up plants there in May were redeemable in July so Dawn and I drove there (while Rick, Paul, and Brent took off on a quest for more fireworks). All but one of my Oriental (or is it Asiatic?) lilies died last winter so I picked up replacements. Dawn found a 'rain chain' which can hang from an eave and act like a rain downspout. I might have considered it but it seemed a bit pricy for basically a chain w/ interspersed cups. She pointed out rain gauges. Perfect. I had been thinking it would be a good idea to have one. So, thanks to Dawn, I can say with a great deal of confidence that we received an inch of rain yesterday. Since it's glass, Dawn cautioned me to bring it inside before the temps fall below freezing. Guess I should look around for a snow gauge too.

May I suggest a yardstick for your snow gauge? ;-)
