At my hosts' house from recent trip...These catch my imagination-how they work to predict the temperature; sometimes more accurate than the people at the Weather Channel...
They come with a legend that helps determine the meaning of the rise and fall of the different "globes".
Sorry for the noise in the background...I was in low light waiting for Rocky the Raccoon to show up! :-)
Here is a good link that explains it better than I:
kein Wunder bei diesen Hitzetagen- und das frΓΌh morgens, wo drauΓen "nur " 20 Β° Lufttemperatur herrschen
Β© David K. Edwards. As would nearly everybody, at first glance I assumed and later always believed that the airplane depicted on this thing was a Boeing 314 Clipper. No question. Exactly what you also thought, right? But recently when I looked closer, the tail is all wrong! As is that strange undercarriage! Oh, yes, it looks WEIRD! Mysterious, even. Please oh please help me! I have owned this thermometer since I was a child, and I cannot even identify the airplane! Help, oh help! Is there no succor? Is there no balm in Gilead?
A couple of second to take the pictures, about 1 hours and a half finding the bits to make it I've turned every draw in the house to find the barometer that was winking at me from the wall all the time....
There is a dress code for every temperature! :-)

I guess we werent done yet. After a night of dancing away with her daddy (first daddy daughter dance !!! ) my older daughter came running and crying into our room last night, with ear pain. So back to the doc we went this morning and I truely hope this was the last time for a long,good while !!
This is her lil sister just a few weeks ago,measuring her temperature when she had an ear infection..no fun ..but those thermometers are a LIFE SAVER !!!! You push it along their forehead, left and right.. and up once..and thats it.. pretty easy and not as annoying as all the others..much easier with a screaming toddler ;))

Happy Fenced Friday! (TGIF at last!)
We went from this with a feel like temp of over 100 a handful of days ago to an overnight low of 50 tonite after a daytime high of only 68 today. All this in just a few short days...I prefer the cool but not this cool.
This photograph, which comes to you by courtesy of the letter G, is my seventh picture for the February Alphabet Fun: 2020 group.
It's remarkable that this outdoor thermometer still has its glass tube intact and remains attached to the side of an old barn.
I posted a shot back on February 19 showing the whole thermometer if you want to see what it looks like. This is a working thermometer based on what Galileo built. There's a lot of YouTube stuff on how it works, so, basically, you read the temperature by looking at the tag on the glass ball floating in the center -- the blue one in this frame. You can't see the tag in this image but it's indicating the temperature is 70 degrees. (Knicknacks DSC_0229.jpg
