Wild Weather, counting blessings
Comments (1)Glad you're ok! We've had multiple hail storms, but so far, knock wood, it's all been small. I'm losing individual leaves instead of whole rows of plants. It is still early enough to try replanting some of what you lost, even if you have to resort to store-bought seedlings....See MoreCounting my blessings
Comments (5)Another bad thing about this is all the weirdos and pranksters that will come crawling out of the woodwork and think it's funny to make threats against their local schools just to watch what happens. It happened one year just after another school shooting. Our local high school received a couple threats the last month of school. Had the kids scared to death and parents worried sick. Several of us parents showed up at the Sheriff's office within minutes of the initial event. I'll give the man credit, while the school was trying to poopoo it and had our kids sitting outside in the darn stadium with woods all around, the Sheriff jumped in and took it serious. These days it just doesn't pay to take 'ANY' threats lightly. Too many kooks and disturbed people out there....See MoreCounting Our Blessings (Weather)
Comments (19)Bizydiggin-Oh but don't despair...you have not left earthquakes behind when you came to OK...just in the past few years we have had several. We had one which knocked foundations off and made people think an explosion had occurred in their neighborhood. Then several others followed. Having never experienced earthquakes they are more eery and unsettling to me...I can see the clouds and know something is coming to hide or prepare...there is no radar to warn of earthquakes....lol Guess it is just in what you are used to dealing with. I have had others from CA to say the same thing you say. Dawn--We stayed okay all the rest of the day after that flood we got yestderday close to noon. How did you all do through the night? I am hearing thunder like crazy so someone is getting it this morning. The radar shows Lawton area to be getting drenched. This thunder I hear is coming from the west..it must not be far away. I just went out and looked and we have clouds moving from the NE of us and heading SW...hope the storms which sat over northeastern OK the last couple of days are not backing up and heading down here. How are all the rest of you guys doing? Still getting flooding rains? Randy how is your back property doing now? Did you get more rain yesterday? Well it looks like for yet another day we will all keep our eyes to the skies....hahaha. I have been a weather watcher for years but I am doing more of it this year than for a number of years all put together. Come on SUNSHINE! Ya'll have a safe day. Endure...it will get better.......won't it? hahaha G.M....See MoreCounting my blessings
Comments (3)I just don't get people who abuse animals. It takes a serious mental problem to take out your frustrations on other living beings. I wish everyone had the foresight to seek help when they feel like hurting something, but obviously that doesn't always happen. I love happy ending stories of pets who have had unfortunate beginnings. My pets are my cure to frustration. When I am having a bad day or am stressed, I scoop up a kitty and have serious cuddle time or take a hamster or two and watch them explore. They make me laugh, which is the best medicine. I count all 7 of my blessings everyday, thanks for the reminder!...See More
