tornado warning

Well, we had our first tornado warning of the season yesterday evening. It didn’t amount to much, thankfully.  They cancelled it just prior to Glen and I getting ready to gather the dog, cat and birds up and head for the basement.  My dog, Petey, absolutely hates thunderstorms and shakes to the point of vibrating.  Glen tried to comfort him, but there is just no calming him down.

After a bit Petey finally did calm down a tiny bit.  He was a hot dog…all that shaking makes him pant and drool.

We got a TON of rain.  We got about 3 inches throughout the evening.  My poor gutters couldn’t keep up so the front of my house looked like a waterfall.

Big Moon

Tried to take pictures of the moon last night since it was closer to the earth than normal.  Here in Missouri, it looked just like it usually does. I saw pictures online of some that had taken, and personally I think they had been altered.  The moon here didn’t look that huge by any stretch of the imagination. I did take pictures, but they aren’t very good, for example…

My boyfriend, Glen, has a better camera than I do, but his pictures looked just a hair better than mine.

We did have a really good time though, watching the moon rise.  We also harassed the birds for a little bit.  Caught Eva by surprise.  She looks so funny when taken unaware.

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
