Rain Storm

At last we are getting Spring rain.  We are also having thunder and lightning.  There is a great deal of wind with it too.  The sky is really dark so may rain all day.  We need the rain to settle all the winter dirt.  Will get rid of the last of the snow piles.  Tulips are up and will be happy to have rain after the beautiful sunshine yesterday.  We have been in drought for a long time so the rain is very welcome.

90 Degrees

It went from cold to hot in 24 hours. We had a little thunder this morning and just a bit of rain and then the thermometer started climbing. It is now 90 and very humid. The air conditioning is running all the time just to keep it down to 74. Our neighbors had problems with their brand new air conditioner and I really feel sorry for them. They had to wait 2 weeks for a part. I bet they are glad they got it running this morning.

Thunder and Lightning

Here it is March and we had all kinds of thunder and lightning last night. When we got up it was still pouring rain and had about a minute of tiny little hail too. Someone from a town 20 miles from us said they had a bit of snow, hail and the rain too. We are finally getting rid of our snow except for the huge piles. I know they are all ice on the bottom so that will take some really warm days to melt down. We have been seeing Robins now and the tulips are coming up so Spring is finally here.
