Product Description
If you find it hard to swallow that it has rained as much as the weatherman says, why not add one of these fun and decorative frog rain gauges to your garden decor? Not only will it make an attractive figure amongst the freesia, but it will let you know just how much of the wet stuff has been falling. Natural finish cement and glass. 4.25 x 3.75 x 4 inches.
Amazon.com Review
Is your garden missing something? Do all the plants seem just a little glum? Perhaps it's time to let American sculptor George Carruth introduce a little whimsy and fun into your grumpy garden. This delightful rain gauge features an adorably thirsty toad, head turned upward to catch the raindrops in the well-marked glass gauge he holds in his mouth. The toad and base have been cast from an original design by Carruth Studio and are made of stone concrete designed to endure season after season of rain drinking. This witty conversation piece has been crafted with intricate detail, from the warts on the toad's back to the tiny ladybug, snail, and earthworm gathered around him.

 I got mine as a Christmas present January 5, 2006
It looks great, so that's the basis of the five stars. Well, that and the fact that the glass tube arrived unbroken. Whew!
Now all I need is some rain. I'd like to make a trade with someone in north-central California: Send us some of your rain and I'll send you some San Antonio sunshine!

Mine didnt even come with the rain guage. It didnt come with the cork pads. Thank goodness for the other reviews that amazon has supplied. They will at least give me the chance to locate a replacement.

Hi all,I don't own this particular rain gauge but one similar, and like many others have a broken glass. I found two good places for replacement glass: www.accumall.com - look under "Rain Gauges" - has them for $3.75 with free standard shipping
www.plowandhearth.com - product #9128 - has them for $1.95 with shipping $3.99 (unless you also order more stuff, shipping charge varies with order) I hope this helps!

...with Mr. Froggy. I, too, lost the tube part of the gauge. Well, let me restate that: I know where it is (hence, technically not lost) but it's not like I can get to it. That's going to require some scoping. Seems like there's no end in sight.Regardless, prior to that bad experience this was the hands-down favorite on my deck. I spent hours staring, staring....waiting to see who would make the first move. I ALWAYS LOST!! I'LL SHOW YOU. ..see how you like the dark. Hm? You like it? Anyway, I've got to get a replacement tube.

I will rate this a 5 if I am able to replace the glass tube for the rain gauge. Mine broke, and if I cannot replace the glass tube, then the entire piece has far less value -- right now no value.
