A weather eye

Tiny inspects Weather Station box as Tuck begins to unpack components.

View within as Tiny discovers Baby has already occupied the box and is prepared to stand his ground.

Rain collection cup (left) and windspeed/temperature/humidity sensor comprise outdoor portion of Weather Station. Tuck stuck the mast into the ground and then secured it with two oak brackets screwed to the fence frame. For further info, check out our online Christmas-shopping post here (scroll down).

Tuck set up his new Weather Station along the fence in the side yard facing the Creek for maximum wind exposure.  He had been worried about accuracy of temperature readings in the sunny exposure and was delighted to read -- he actually enjoys reading manuals! -- that the temperature sensor is protected from direct rays by a little umbrella.
