Wednesday, May 8, 2024 Cloudy Major Storms on the way 71 Degrees 8:43 a.m.

I want to get my blog our this morning as the prediction is for major thunder, lightening, heavy rain, grapefruit size hail, flooding, and possible power outages. Tornadoes are possible also. So in view of the inclement weather for the next 24 hours or so, I thought I would get ahead of it.

Right now it is cloudy, still, muggy, and quiet. There are some birds out, feeding at the bird feeders and checking the grass for bugs and maybe a juicy worm. Mostly it feels like all outdoors is holding its’ breath, just waiting for the storms to arrive.

While I am prepared as much as possible, Tina went to work wearing sandals. She has a rain jacket in the car as well as umbrellas, but I am sure she didn’t take any in the office with her. She doesn’t believe the rain will come until this evening. We shall see. Meanwhile I have the transistor radio ready, the flashlights ready, and towels ready to block water should it flood at the front door. I am serving sandwiches and strawberry short cake for dinner if we don’t have electricity. Everything has been charged or had new batteries put in. The only thing I can charge up is the Robo Cat Box! Sierra might have an issue with that if the power goes out for any length of time.

Quote of the day: “The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.” Theresa of Lisefux, 1873 – 1897, French Carmelite Nun.

Now to get back to my daily chores.. Have a great, Wednesday. Make it a safe, productive, kind, cheerful and fun day.

Blessings
