It's that time of the year....

It's that time of the year....

Sunday, September 2, 2012

And the skies opened up…

and the rains came.  So many different amounts all around us.  Canton, about 35 miles west of here with right at 4 inches.  So far we have well over 2 inches with more rain predicted  off and on during the day.  Right now it is a fine drizzle out. There were many tornado warnings here yesterday with several touchdowns but no damage.  Thank you God!  Everything looks so green outside.

I had a nice but short visit with my son.  My daughter and son in law came over and we had deli roast beef sandwiches, potato salad and coconut cream pie. I have been promised another visit for my birthday in late September.  I hope it happens.

Nothing much new to report.  I can tell by the rugs at my front door that I am going to have to clean again.  AACKK!

I hope you all have a peaceful day.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Beth

  5. I love your fall blog background! Happy to hear you are getting the rain. Lunch with your son/dil sounds very tasty. Our leaves are beginning to fall and they always collect right around the front door!
