Oh my goodness! We are blessed again! We were 92 yesterday and that adds so much fuel to the fire when a cool front comes through. There were a couple of tornados in our area, lots of straight wind damage around, and even more hail reportings all across Texas.
We had beautiful clouds before the storms and an awesome lightning show during the storms that went on for about 2 hours. I love lightning! I went outside and took videos and even took videos from my chair watching out the window where my orchids are thriving.
First attempt at video. Anyway, we ended up with 7/10" of rain as it slid east of us and was over by 11 pm instead of 1 am if the storm had completely come across us.
So now it is time to get busy! Enjoy your day and share your smile!
So before I get sidetracked... again... I am going to share my pictures with you.

You will have to copy and paste it but you should be able to see all the videos of the Hummingbirds too. Most of my pictures are taken "LIVE" which means they have seconds of action. Let me know if you enjoy seeing some of my pictures.
May you have a blessed week and also such a lovely Monday day. We were blessed to have a very nice rain shower overnight. The grass will grow more and I can't wait to smell that first hair cut the lawn will have soon. Smiles Gloria

We had a beautiful Friday evening! Wendy and I sat on the patio watching hummingbirds and cardinals and small birds galore. We listened to the guys talking inside and their laughter. Then they came back over Saturday and we met them for Mexican food and another visit full of smiles and laughter. We got some light rain on and off but Austin and Central Texas got very heavy rains.
This morning we had a bit of sunshine while East Texas was getting the heavy rain. But now we are cloudy and dreary again even though it doesn't show clouds in our area and there is still some blue peeking through.
I'm off to the patio for a bit to smell the flowers and then to watch some college baseball today from Austin since it got rained out yesterday.
The wind here was fierce yesterday and last night, but it's just breezy today and the sun is shining with temps in the 60s. Lovely!
Hugs, Maria
Hi there my friend. Its going to be a beautiful day here today. Its already in the 60's and the sun is shining and no wind. Sounds like a perfect day to me. I hope you are having a great Friday and will have a good weekend. Take care my friend. Cheryl
Friday is almost over and so is May! We had another 7/10" of rain today. So are you ready for the Pilgrims???
You know.. Mayflower? I have company coming in an hour so guess I had better get the house picked up a little.
Don't forget to share your smile, even in the rain! There are so many hail damage claims that have been filed already. And some are still repairing their house from the freeze and broken pipes.
The sun is shinning , birds singing and the grass is getting greener. My, My the beauty of spring is such a treasure to see. It makes one giggle, smile and start to dig in the flowerbeds just for the fun of it. May you have a delightful day. Smiles Gloria
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.
Now it is afternoon already. Where does the time go? Who stole it ?
Yesterday I got some new plants and some seeds put in pots. Also got them all around our yard in places. Now I need your help identifying a bird that I got a picture of in our yard.
So now that I have wasted your time, you are probably wondering where the day has gone. Guess I had better go find my umbrella because we are due rain and storms for the next day or two.
I hope you have a smile on your face and that you share that smile with others today. Blessings & Hugs are headed your way and I am
Hi there. I hope you had a good weekend and a good start to the week. We were out of town on Friday and just got back yesterday evening. Went and saw our oldest daughter and her two boys . Had lots of fun with the grandsons. They wore us out. Got to hold a baby chicken. It was nice to see her and spoil the grandsons. Glad to be back home though. Almost caught up with the laundry. Got the last load in the dryer. I hope you are having a nice afternoon and a peaceful evening. Take care my friend. Cheryl
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!
