Thunderstorms

They are telling us we may expect severe thunderstorms tomorrow.  It sounds like it is going to really warm up.  It has been very chilly.  I suppose the extra warmth is going cause the problem.  It could go south of us though.  They are talking high winds, hail and lots of rain.  we are in bad drought and really need the rain bad.  It would be great if we could just get a good all day and night soaking rain.  We haven't had to mow all summer.  That is almost unheard of.  We don't really like snow but guess we will need to get plenty this Winter to make up for the lack of rain or have an awfully wet Fall or Spring.

Big Rains and Large Hail

Everything went North of us but heard the rain came down really hard and fast and lots of it. The hail seems to be getting bigger and bigger everywhere. It was quarter size in lots of places. In some places it was the size of a fifty cent piece. I know other States have had baseball, softball and golf ball size hail. The Bible says in the last days we will have hail so big it weighs 32 pounds. I can't even imagine that. Think of the damage it will do and people it will kill if they aren't in a protected place.

Weather Changes

My husband mowed the lawn even though it was quite wet. If he waited till this afternoon it would be too hot for him to mow. I took the clippers and clipped where ever he couldn't get with the mower. We have a bank behind the house where weeds grow quite tall and clipped them all off too. We used to have a cottonwood tree and there are gobs of little cottonwood trees growing in the flower bed. I pulled as many as I could but it gets to you in the heat standing on your head pulling little trees and weeds. It is supposed to get very hot and then thunderstorm overnight into tomorrow. We have to travel about 25 miles from home tomorrow so hope we do not get any hail with the rain.
