snow flurries this morning. Winter coat, hat and gloves back on. The temp is 36 degrees and the wind is gusting up to 30 MPH.
I have been to the stores this morning and a quick trip to the bank. I purchased a roast and I will fix that with carrots and potatoes tomorrow.
My heart is with the little town of West, Texas. I am saying a prayer for those killed and the survivors. I am just getting caught up on the news about the Boston Marathon. I can’t believe two such innocent looking boys could be so evil. I hope the one brother is caught with no more blood shed.
Nothing much happening here except for the massive amount of rain we had. East Peoria had a mud slide across the road from the river boat casino that I donate money to once or twice a year. A little town just a few miles from us had 7.8 inches of rain in the 24 hour period. I am just so thankful it was rain and not snow. That would have amounted to quite a few feet of snow. “The ratio of snow to water can vary a great deal depending on the vertical profiles of temperature and moisture, and how they change during a storm. Typically 1 inch of rain is equal to 1 foot of snow, a 12-1 ratio.”
I hope we all have a peaceful weekend free from violence and stress. Stay safe and be happy!!

Stay warm Beth! There's so much on TV right now that it's hard to not watch. It's sad that all of this is happening. Sometimes it's too much for me. I have to shut it all down and walk away. This world is a mess!
ReplyDeleteMorning Beth so this is spring? I am heading out and think I need a parka and a rain coat. I wish it would make up its mind. Have a nice weekend. Hug B
ReplyDeletethe flooding is amazing! yes, it has been a hard week all over.
ReplyDeleteHI Beth,
ReplyDeleteOh no, not more snow. It is colder here again, but hopefully no snow. The terrible things happening are hard to take on board.
Hope you do have a peaceful and restful weekend.
Hugs Nita
Hopefully the snow will be short-lived! Time to get on with spring! Take care of yourself, Beth. Enjoy that roast! xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteWe have snow squalls going thru all morning! Just trying to dry out now. Boy does roast and potatoes sound good on a day like this. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteBeth, We had an inch of rain between Tuesday and thursday...then 3 1/2 inches from yesterday through last night. Our town has many flooded areas. We went to town for a few things and the traffic was unreal...because people are trying to find a way around. The police were everywhere closing off streets. Now I worry for other in low areas. No more rain is needed for sure. Yes, it is cold again too. Stay safe and warm this weekend. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to be happy when so much sadness and rain abounds. Hopefully we can all have a peaceful weekend like you said. sandie
ReplyDeleteIt is just unreal with the amount of rain you have been having. We had an evening of harder rain too, but nothing like days and days of it that you have been getting. I keep hoping spring will pop out, but it seems like forever this year.
ReplyDeleteYes, April 19th and I drove to my doctor's appointment in the winds and snow. Pfftt
ReplyDeleteSo much sadness for both areas-all I can think to do is pray.
Have a nice weekend.
I broke down and turned on the AC this morning. I had trouble sleeping last night because it was so warm.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie

ReplyDeleteOur heat is on and I so want warmth but from nice sunny days. Our weather is so like yours and I know we're all tired of it. My cousing has 20 inches of snow in northern WI and it's still snowing.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth!
ReplyDeleteWell, we got about a foot of snow where I am. Glad it missed you and that you are warm, safe and sound.
You have had some rough weather! I too am very sad about all this evil!
ReplyDeleteOh no, not more cold weather!!
ReplyDeleteThere's a thunder storm going on now here!!
Gosh, more snow for you area. Do hope the weather takes up with Spring, winter sometimes seems to last a long time.
ReplyDeleteYou're so faithful to stop by and leave sweet words. I've been so slack lately to visit my friends. Hope you have a great weekend. Stay safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteBeth how about next winter you send me some of that snow?? :)
ReplyDeleteOh no! sounds like our weather has traveled down to you.
ReplyDeleteHope your roast was delicious. :)
