The weather is wacky, same as in much of the country. We had several days with highs in the 70s and lows in the 60s. My weather.com page shows local as well as Eastern Colorado and Boise, Idaho. I have family in both places and keep track, ya know? Several mornings last week when I got up it said we were 65-68 and Boise & Vona were 3-5. Brrrrrrrr! But starting today we are back to more normal 40s / 20s.
We have had rain for 6 straight days, total of 4 inches; another inch or more predicted for tonight and Tuesday before a drying spell.
Sunday afternoon we had a tornado warning. Nothing came of it in Middle Tennessee, but these pictures show how fiercely it rained for awhile.
Taken from the back patio; the yard was a lake for awhile. The picture below shows part of the corral and in the distance, the temporary lake on the neighbor's pasture.
Sunday we celebrated grandson Jackson's 9th birthday. In just about 6 weeks we will celebrate Brittany's 16th and Katie's 13th. Wow, how fast they grow up! We are really looking forward to the arrival in March of Jackson's little brother, Caleb. How fun to have a baby in the family again!
While on vacation in Oregon at Christmas, Dave, Katie & Jackson visited the Tillamook Creamery and sent this "cow" picture to Grandpa. Pretty cool....thanks Jackson! Wish I could have enjoyed some cheese curds and an ice cream cone with you!
That looks like a lot of rain! It's been dreary and warm here too, but not nearly that much rain, thank goodness. Glad nothing came of the tornado warning!
ReplyDeleteIt was like the bottom fell out of the sky here for about 30 minutes. Lots of water in the creek today.
ReplyDeleteYour grandchildren are beautiful; I know you all can't wait to see the new one.
I'm so sorry you still had bad virus things going on with your computer. That was the strangest thing! I was almost hesitant to visit the blog again that you mentioned it happened while trying to visit, but I felt I owed it to you to see, but nothing happened. I am glad you were able to get it cleaned up.
It probably was just a coincidence that it happened at the same time. There's apparently a lot of bad stuff "out there". Don't worry about it for a minute.
DeleteWe live sw of Murfreesboro and it's not uncommon for the storm track to come up out of Alabama and Mississippi headed this way, but thank God we have not had anything near us. But it sure is wet!!
