Barometer Rising

I was given a barometer for Christmas. A nice nautical unit with a brass housing. While decidedly 'boaty' in nature, this one is for the house (and a handsome addition it makes). Over the weekend, with wildly varying weather, it became somewhat addictive - setting the marker hand and watching just how quickly the barometer was rising (perhaps I will get outside) - or falling (time for another log on the fire).

If you haven't already, I highly recommend one for the home (as well as the boat). It can't hurt to be just a bit more in touch with what mother nature has on offer.
