Batten Down The Hatches

It's been a day filled with thunderstorms, winds, and tornadoes dancing all around. The rain was needed, the other elements we can do without. This has been a week of on and off rain , the sticky, yellow pollen now washed clean from everything it befelled.

Tornado season is once again upon us. The Tennessee Valley endured a sleepless night of tornadic mayhem, trees down, roofs blown off, flooding.

Be safe, adhere to the warnings, have an emergency plan in place.

I puddle up the neighborhood
I make the postman mad
I wake the worm and spank the frog
Sleeping on his lily pad
And when the tulips in their beds
Nod happily, it's true
I shake the petals of their hands
And say, How do you dew?
