Chris bought me a rain gauge for Mother's Day. Monday, I mounted it to a fence post, and I've been waiting all week for more than a sprinkle of rain. Got a good downpour just now, so I went out under cover of umbrella to watch the gauge fill. It's maddening how infrequently a raindrop will actuall hit a square inch. Two-tenths of an inch. Not bad, but I'm hoping for more later today so I can really check out the magnifying effect the water will have on the numbers.
