Summer

I guess that I have the summer time blues, the should make a song out of this…wait they did already, it has been hot and wet which makes it very humid. I can not stand the heat and humidity as well as I used to stand it. I hate to sweat and humidity is a key ingredient in sweat. I am very ready for fall and winter to get here and the sooner the better. I can deal with the cold a lot easier than I can the heat and humidity. Give me a blanket and a fire and I am set for the night.

Rain go away

I hate to say it but we have had enough rain to last us for a while, we need a sunny day so we can get out and do some fun stuff. There is a nice carnival set up at the mall and we have not gone yet because of the rain every day, we do not want to be there if it starts with the thunder and lightning. We missed a great fireworks show last night because of the rain. I was surprised that they still set off the fireworks; we could see the flashes over the trees. Rain go away.

Hair cuts

We took our grandson David to get his hair cut and while we were there we decided to get our hair cut too. It was raining so hard it was horrible, the lightning was very scary too. We noticed a couple of trees on the way home that had been struck by lighting and I was very glad that we were inside during the worst of the storm I have a very healthy fear of lighting and the damage it can do a good friend of ours was killed while standing on his porch smoking and it was not even raining at the time of that storm.

Cold snap

For a couple of days we had beautiful weather the birds were singing and tree started budding out, and then last night it dropped into the low teens and put a quick stop to all the thinking about spring that was roaming around in peoples minds the last couple of days. I knew we were due for another cold snap and I kept our plants inside even after it hit the high sixties for a couple of days. Now we can start putting out the plants and getting ready for spring I think that was the last gasp of winter. I hope I am right; I am ready for spring.

Bad storms

We are under a tornado watch, and it looks like we could be in for a bad storm this time. It is coming at us in waves and each one seems to get stronger and stronger. Last year we had some early storms that were very strong. I guess March is going out like a lion this year, but it came in like a lion so it should go out like a lamb. Oh well March is a lion this year on both ends. Now we are under a warning for Davidson County so I guess I better go get under cover.
