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.

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

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...

It was a mild Winter so lots of things have reseeded. I have sunflowers and something else volunteering in my garden....never had that happen before. Mind you, it was 32*F this morning so they probably will be no more.

I hope they make it through. We will have temps in the 60-70's this week, so I hope my Columbine transplants make it. I do have a few seeds I saved from last year, that I failed to put out last winter to stratify...so I will add them this fall or early next spring for just in case. The kids are coming today. "Papaw" is buying them a Pizza for lunch. Works for me.
