How Great Is This?

Yesterday, my friend Meggie sent me an email full of animal pictures. The one below stood out in my mind.

Then today, I opened our local paper to find this. I don't know Kelly Brock, but she had entered her drawing in the weekly contest our paper does for school students. She was the art winner for this week. Her drawing is below.

How great is this? I see the photo one day and the very next day I see the drawing in my paper. Thank you Meggie!

Tornado Watches and Warnings

Today we have been under tornado watches and warnings. Thankfully all we've had is strong thunderstorms and lots of rain. I'm especially glad to see the rain.

We had a beautiful weekend. On Saturday my grandson and his wife visited. We went outside a couple of times. In just a few minutes the can of Dr. Pepper that Ashley was drinking from had yellow dust all over it. POLLEN !! That's the stuff that makes my life so miserable in spring. If it could coat that can so quickly, can you imagine what we were breathing in?

Today after the first wave of rain was over I went outside. The yellow stuff in the puddles below is pollen. I'm so thankful that so much of it was washed out of the trees.

The apple blossoms were thankful for the rain too.

The clouds have returned, but we think the worst of the storms are over. I'm so grateful for the rain that washes the pollen out of the trees and air.
