It's amazing how different the actual rainfall totals are different than the 'reported' rainfall, and I can better keep up with whether or not my garden needs supplemental watering, instead of just guessing. I hope you get one. I bet you'll really like it. I do like the kind that registers rain in .10ths.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-67582012709559387982012-01-25T06:14:28.506-08:002012-01-25T06:14:28.506-08:00We are obviously married to two very nice men.
