A daily chart of the sunshine may be kept by taking a 

 piece of Bristol board, printing the name of the month

 Jackman suggests light yellow for sunny days, orange 

 for fair weather, light gray for cloudy days, dark gray 

 for rain, and the same with a Avhite centre for snow. 



Of course, the daily observation of the wind and clouds 

 should be continued with frequent excursions.
