and yet another first...

This morning, home alone, I heard my first tornado siren. Now I know which room to hunker down in should a tornado be close... this morning I ran to shut down electrical appliances as the storm crashed, not even thinking that maybe a tornado would really come this way. Now, hearing that on a serious warning we should all huddle in the bathroom which is the most central room and has no windows, the reality of it is hitting home. All is calm now though, 21 degrees C and the forecast not too bad.

Azaleas are in bloom, and wild wisteria drapes the spindly trees along the roadsides. The dogwood on the front lawn almost tempts me to paint flowers, and now that the sun is out again I think it is photo time...
