There are no words to tell you how blessed we are today and everyday. The rain bombarded us at 3 am and we ended up with 2" total. But north of Fort Worth (Keller, Saginaw and other areas) had very large hail.
And it did lots of damage. The news showed areas like hotels, apartments, and car rentals where almost every car in the parking lots had the back windows totally shattered or lots of holes in them.
We had lots of thunder and lightning but no damaging winds or hail. And even though we had 2" of rain, we were on the edge of the storm as an area near Waxahachie reported 7" from last night.
I am so very thankful that all the plants I put out in the yard didn't get beat up, but seem to be thriving. Praying that those of you who needed rain got it and none of you had damage from storms.
Here we are into another week, Tuesday already. I paid a few bills... UGH! Hubby is mowing because tonight, Wednesday, and Thursday is a chance of up to 3-4" of rain. Our backyard creek is just now dry enough to mow today.
Sun, clouds and rain are competing for our attention. And the pink moon was beautiful last night. We all had to catch it in between the clouds moving in and out.
So when you have time stop by and leave me a note and know that I am sending your Blessings & Hugs!
My how time flies even when you are retired. Where did the weekend go? We ended up with an inch of rain on Friday afternoon and evening. Saturday, we spent about 4 hours moving and planting plants. That afternoon we watched sports. Sunday we watched our Church services then enjoyed sitting on the patio and watching hummingbirds, squirrels, and lots of other birds. Even saw a big Blue Jay several times. Hubby got almost all the glue off my incision too. So it feels much better as I wait for more of the feeling to come back.
So thanks for being such a faithful friend and stopping by! It always means so much to me!
We have clouds this morning and therefore we are much warmer, low 50's. Today we will probably hang plants back into the trees around the yard. It is...
and that means I am working tomorrow. We are supposed to have 2, that's right... TWO rounds of thunderstorms tomorrow.
Yes! I love thunder and lightning and rain. On second thought, we may wait until Saturday or Sunday to move plants, when it is sunshine and 80.
Since I might not make it to the Hill tomorrow, I'll send this today...
You will never guess what I did today!!! I took a trip to Venice. A virtual trip to Venice! The tour guide was fabulous! The hour flew by and was most interesting. Our guide gave us lots of history on Venice. Have any of you ever done a virtual zoom tour? Here is the link... https://photos.app.goo.gl/NNg7GkJXnhhXxGt98
Now the pictures aren't great but with an Apple Mac, it is so easy to do screen shots. I didn't know if she would allow it so I didn't start until our guide told us it was OK to take pictures. I do hope you enjoy them.
I had several friends this morning send me text pictures of snow. Dallas broke a record low set back in 1918. Baby it's cold outside. I doubt we will hit 60 today and the wind chill is brrrr.
Yes, I have a sweatshirt on! So there won't be any sitting in the sun for my Vitamin D today. I know we will be in the 80's soon so I will hang on to that!
Hope to hear from you soon! Blessings & Hugs are coming your way.
This is usually what I do in the mornings... sit and drink coffee! Ok, I might play a game or two on my ipad! But not this morning.
For some unknown reason, I finished coffee hours ago and I am dressed and on the computer. Guess it is because I really want to be working in the yard. But it is still too chilly right now.
The sun is shining in the window where the tree fell over and the orchids love it. April 13 is the last known freeze for our area and we will get close on Wednesday morning at 35. On Tuesday we will hit 70 before the front comes in and drops 35 degrees and the plants are NOT going to be happy.
The ground is saturated and it looks like it is raining all over our area even though they say it is not hitting the ground. So it is a cold and damp weekend. We are 43-48 and our highs are usually in the 70's this time of year. So searching for a sweater!
Not going to lie... this is how I feel even a week after surgery. My goodness I am ready for this numbness to go AWAY. I am not excited about weeks and months of this! I am not really complaining I hope, just stating a fact.
So what are you going to do this weekend? I don't have a clue what is in store for us. We are waiting on the Septic repairman right now. Will probably be a rather large expense today for weekend call and possible pump replacement. Always fun to wake up on the weekend to the alarm going off. But whatever you do I hope you will share your smile and blessings with everyone you encounter.
It's a beautiful day somewhere! Maybe at your place. OK, rain is beautiful and it has been raining non stop here since early morning. Yes, it is a beautiful day here!
See... what do you think? It is a beautiful day. Now the question is, what to do today? Well,
Ok, I may not do exactly that today. After all it is only 56 now. But if the sun comes out today or tomorrow, I will most certainly be outside checking plants and seeing what to get into.
Thursday is almost over but the great news is... my drain is out and the Doctor said he was impressed with the healing. No pathology report back yet. The cyst or tumor was stuck to the eyebrow nerve. But he tested the nerve after removal and said it was good and will come back. Because it was stuck to the nerve and my history they are running extra tests. He checks for the reports multiple times a day and will call the minute he gets it. So now we wait.
We got 1/2" rain last night and rain is moving into our area now. Tomorrow the chance of rain is all day. So I am waiting for Saturday to go outside and empty potting soil out of pots with no plants coming back, moving pots around and planting a few new things. Hope you can come join me soon!
i really want to start my garden, but the weather here is so unpredictable...in fact we still might get some snow. i've started a few plants in the house...waiting patiently..lol
I fell asleep at 8:30 but it was a good thing because at 3:30 this morning we had thunder and lightning in the distance. We only got 2/10" of rain but the dogs were upset just enough that there was no more sleep.
The bluebonnets are in full bloom and I was lucky enough to get a video with a big bumblebee and a smaller bee both pollinating a bluebonnet.
Things that survived the freeze are all starting to show signs of green coming out. Then there are a few like the iris above that if you miss a day looking around the yard it will be gone the next day. We do have a bit of sunshine today again but more storms are expected tonight. Now it is time for me to treat the wound with essential oils and rest up so the nerves will regenerate. Share your smile with everyone you meet.
You know I'm OK with Monday, but I did think this was cute. Already got Apple support to fix my iCloud storage this morning; finished my scriptures and ready to go out and watch for my hummingbirds. Sat in the sun for a while yesterday since we are to have clouds for the next week or 10 days with slim chances of rain.
I even got my first video of my Ruby Throated Hummingbird yesterday. Hubby moved some of the larger plants that require a dolly to move them for me and I watered everything since rain is a scattered chance at best.
So I'm off to watch for birds and enjoy the day. Not happy about waiting a week, a month, or longer (year) for the nerves in the face, eyebrow, and eyelid to rejuvenate. My ear is still totally numb and part of my face and I'm sure part of my neck. But hey, no pain. Praise God. Thanks again for stopping by as it really does put a smile on my face.
GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS & BLESSINGS, Ms. Nancy, I pray YOU have a SENSATIONALLY SPLENDID SUNDAY & EASTER, and have had a SPECTACULAR WEEKEND, my friend...
GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS & BLESSINGS, Ms. Nancy, I pray YOU have a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY / HUMPDAY & A HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY, and are having a WORTHWHILE WEEK, my friend...
