Here it is still the winter season and we’re getting tornado warnings!  Worst yet the storm today did scare me a bit.  Around 2pm I was sitting at the ol’ computer looking out the window, when all of a sudden  huge gust of wind came through.  It managed to knock over the water fountain in the front yard and move a rather large planter I have on the front porch.  A few minutes later we lost power.  It did not come back on until 3 hours later.   When power did come on, I turned on the TV and saw news stories about the storm damage to different parts of Tennessee.  I am thankful that we had no serious damage to our home, however, I can’t say that about some other folks in the area.  Lots of trees and power lines were down as well as a few roofs blown away.

I wonder if Spring will be on time this year?  Right now the temperature is at Zero on the old thermometer.  Hope it doesn’t get much colder tonight.  Looking forward to the morning, am celebrating my 37th Wedding Anniversary with the love of my life.  (Yes, it’s my husband!)  Hoping to get away for the day and maybe visit Knoxville, TN.  Do some shopping, maybe take in a movie, or just have a nice dinner and go home.  Been snowing and I hope the roads are in decent shape for travel.  Otherwise, we will just have to stay home and cuddle.  We’ll just have to wait and see.
