Stay safe, the news coverage is showing such devastation....it is sad to see.

Yes we are good, and safe. All is well here. My DD's house is good too. And yes, I saw some photos from our weather/news channel. Quite sad really. Luckily we didn't get any of the really bad stuff locally.

It was kinda strange, though to hear the meteorologist talk of the tornado going right at the exit to our little town, and right over the "meat market" that I go to and apparently the one he too uses.

Still has not rained today. So yay !!!
Happy Sunday !!

I can send you some, it is pouring here. It's a good day to bake and cook some freezer meals.

Ok..IF you can save some rain and then send it say next July, I am all up for that !!!

Ah yes, baking...great idea !!!

Still raining....great weather if one was a duck.

We got another inch of rain last night. Sunday 1-1/10 inch, yesterday another inch. Dry right now. But today is a "first alert action day" So weather is going to get severe at some point.

I transplanted volunteers from where I had my Dad's Columbine flower. I hope they make it.

Columbines never do well here. I have tried too many times to count, from seed and plant. What color are they??

They are a reddish orange..Eastern Red Columbine I think.
I think I killed them. I left a bit of a hole where I planted the mass that I brought home so the water would go straight down to the roots
I probably drowned the plant, or froze it out over the winter. That hole is how filled up with nice fertilized soil. Wish me luck

I do wish you lots of luck.

Talking about plants...I have pink coneflowers coming up everywhere in one flowerbed. It's strange how some plants take over. They must have spread by seed.

Yes about the coneflowers spreading. I read something just recently that said that is one reason to dead head them...to keep the plant from spreading. Well, I don't mind if they spread...
