And the thunder rolls...


My hats off to all you, who live in tornado alley and on the coast in the line of hurricanes.  The winds here howled ALL NIGHT long and I dont think I slept more than an hour at a time.  Id doze off and then Id wake up to thinking that I heard the "freight train"...so Id lay there contemplating whether or not to uproot everyone and whisk them to the basement.  Then Id do it all over again.  I am exhausted!!  I know...Im a weenie.  I just dont like weather.  Remember...I like not too hot, not too cold, no white stuff and these wicked storms need to be contained into a nice rumbly thunderstorm...a good light show and thats it!!!  Cmon is that too much to ask for???  I mean seriously! 

So, yesterday I worked like a dog trying to get my house back into shape.  Geesh...how quickly it can go to heck in a hand basket.  But it is all sparkly now and as soon as it will quit "STORMING!" I will be able to head back outside.  Good news is...its still raining right now so I can get all purply today!  Before the storms came in yesterday I went out and clipped a bunch of the lilac blooms to put into a vase.  My house smells amazing!  WOW!  One little bouquet and the whole place smells like a garden. I am sooo glad that I did go out yesterday as I am looking at my bush now and she took quite a beating in the wind overnight.  I see a lot of little purple petals on the ground.  :(

Anyways.  So I hope you who have sunshine go out and enjoy it.  For me...Im going to go catch a siesta then hope to get inky.
