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!
Hi Deb - Yes, it's another Monday. Hope you had a good weekend. Mine was good - mostly quiet which I enjoyed as I get so few. Worked around the house this morning, after getting up late and should have gone outside to do a few things in the garden but I didn't. Now it's raining hard with thunder but no lightning - but we needed it and it kept me from having to water everrything. Have a wonderful rest of the day and have a good new week. Hugs, Wendy
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.
A good day,weekend and new month to you. Getting much needed rain here at last and everything is growing and blooming. Enjoy your day sharing happiness with others.....George
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
