My Husband Called & Said Don't Go Out In The Storm, but...


I couldn't help but laugh when my husband called and said not to go out in the storm.  It was already hailing at our house.  Why on the earth would I need to be reminded to not go out in a hail storm?  Well...

Sometimes I don't use the best judgment. However, I did wait until the first round of hail stopped, well, almost stopped before I went out and took some photos...

My favorite bird's nest was completely full!  And then...it began to really hail!  Back in I went, and straight to the basement.  The second round was seriously loud and the hailstones were about golf ball size! 
I surveyed the damage to the house when this round ended.  Our siding is pretty beat up.  I didn't stay out too long; you never know how big the next hailstone might be...  I stayed out just long enough to collect some proof for the freezer...  I guess distractions come in all forms.  This one was pretty exciting, but I expect it will be expensive in the end.

What kind of severe weather do you have?  Does is scare you, excite you, or inspire you?

If you didn't catch this yesterday, my dear friend Susan is celebrating her 100th follower by having an awesome (gift cards…) contest!

My dear friend, Amy just got back from a trip to Ecuador and is having a really cool contest!  If you haven't met Amy, please check her out.  Her first book is coming out in JULY!

FROZEN FINGERS...FROZEN TOES...OH WAIT, I CAN'T FEEL MY NOSE...


It is so cold today.  My post tonight is very very very brief because my fingers are still trying to recover from my afternoon snow blowing adventure.  A thin coat of ice is under the snow....So if you try to drive your snow blower up the driveway, it will NOT move.  It sits and spins...I finally got it up to the top, parked it and hand shoveled the rest of the drive.  To say the least ,my hands are still stinging and its been several hours...So I'm going to have a cup of hot chocolate (or something) and try to warm up.

I hope all is well where you live. 

Do you have any good warming up after snow blowing/removal ideas?  I think I need a little file of them.
