Rain, Scouts, & Stitching!

We're supposed to get another big storm tonight, so T-bone decided today would be a good day to check the water level in his rain gauge.

Almost 2.5 inches! He made this and we taped it up 5 days ago. It's actually pretty cool. I saw it in a magazine somewhere (can't find it again...). You cut the top of a standard water bottle off, turn it upside down and put it into the bottle, making a funnel that you then tape down. Anyway, he watered the houseplants (nothing outside needs water!) with the collected water and we taped it back up.

Pete took the boys to the Lowe's Build and Grow this morning, and then it was off to the Petersen Automotive Museum for a cub scout event. Needless to say, they had a good time and stopped at Pann's on the way home for lunch. 

Lucky me attended El Segundo Blue's Superbowl of Stitches, with a new project by Margaret Bendig. I nice day of stitching and lunch. I would like to finish this project, but we'll see :)

THe Petersen is a perfect place for a bunch of Boy Scouts. We live right near the museum! Also, Pann's is our favorite coffee shop in Los Angeles. What a great day for the boys. Perfect for you too, 'cause you got in all that knitting!
