I was up earlier this morning than yesterday. At 1:15 Ted and I we up due to the storms. We are good here. Just branches and debris in the yard. High winds enough lightening to clean the air for a month.
So glad I had Ted bring the flag in. It was a rough night. The storms came thru in waves. Lots of weather news on the TV this morning.
Had to throw this duckie back into the pond, he had jumped out. You can see we have some clean up to do.
I put most of my containers up next to the wall to try to keep them safe from the hail. They still took a whipping from the winds.
I know you all wanted to know...this little fellow says, "What storms?" I am making this short, so everyone knows we are save here. Hoping all is well with you. XO
Glad to hear you are safe, Susie!
ReplyDeleteThank you Laurie. I am so glad to be safe. The neighbor lady said the town east of here, a small farm community had a tornado. I surely hope not. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWe had a big storm go through here Monday evening
ReplyDeleteThe lighting and thunder was bad however not as bad as the high winds that trimmed a lot of dead branches out of my trees
we needed rain and that was good for my flowers
Glad you didn't have any damage
We had a heavy rain on Monday also. Then yesterday, it rained again...the storms came in after 11:00 pm. You know when everyone's a sleep/ Our weather radio woke me. I think we all need at least an inch of rain. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie

Glad you're safe, storms like that are so scary.
ReplyDeleteI need to do some checking, my neighbor told me this morning...while I was picking up branches, that the town east of here had a tornado. Gosh I hope not. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThank you, for telling us!!!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you!
Hugs!
Tessa
Thank you Tessa. I was getting worried a few times...our lights flickered a couple times. So many in the state are without power. Tornado touch downs in Illinois. I need to find out about a small town east of here. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie - So glad you didn't get any more bad weather than you did. That wind can really do a lot of damage.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
Judy
Judy, In a town n.w. of here the wind took down the big communication tower in the town. Today they will mount the Emergency equipment on their water tower. We were lucky, and I thank God. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh my, you did have a stormy night. I see lots of twigs to be picked up. Glad you were safe.
ReplyDeleteLinda, we call that sick picking...my daughter asked if we want to come over and pick sticks...I told her we had plenty of our own. Ted is helping the neighbor man fix his siding, where a strip came off. They are going to haul the bigger limbs in his tractor bucket. I still feel so blessed. Take care. Tell Bob hello from Indiana. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGlad to know ya'll are safe. i thought about you last night and was praying really hard. Hugs, xo
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Susie. I appreciate every pray we get. I am so thankful this morning...it could have been so much worse. Tornadoes did touch down in Illinois...the neighbor lady said one hit the small town east of us...I have not heard any more. Blessings to you and yours , stay cool. The heat is on here now. xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteIt seems more like Spring storms. Take care and be safe. Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteDiane, I feel blessed that the storms were not worse. Some places had damage...mostly trees falling over power lines and cars. Our neighbors lost a big tree in the barn lot. We all helped pick up branches and debris. Now it's is like a sauna outside. Too hot to enjoy being out. Bless you, let's stay cool. xoxo, Susie
DeleteAs a fellow Hoosier, I am glad you are safe. We were lucky that it did not storm near us
ReplyDeleteCarol, I am happy for all of us...it could have been so much worse. I am also thankful it did not flood here. We have our yard cleaned up now. It is hot outside...so I am not staying out there today. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
Deletep.s. when my daughter comes one day, she'll help me get in the right place to leave you comments. :):)
Glad to here all is well..We haven't had any real rain for weeks now..It keeps going South of us..We had a 90% chance today..Now it is 40% !!
ReplyDeleteMissy, I hope your area will get some rain. With the rain Monday and Wednesday/last night, we have had 2 inches of rain. We surely needed it too. But Missy, it's as hot as a sauna now. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSo glad you made it safely through those storms! xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteNellie, I do feel very blessed...it sure could have been worse. There were so winds of 100 mph.Crazy. We did not get the hail here...just lots of lightening. Two inches of rain from the rain Monday and yesterday. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI am so glad you are safe with no bad damage. The hail that came with our storms this year has been fierce. I've not heard of so many bad hailstorms before. The little flower is amazingly resilient.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, We did not get the hail that some got .I am so very thankful. We did not have damage or power outage either. I always worry about that. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGlad you are safe and sound. We missed the worst of the storm her in southern Indiana.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you didn't get any nasty storms. We were very luck really. We have our yard cleaned up already and Ted fixed the neighbor's soffit. Stay safe, Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Deleteglad all is ok there...
ReplyDeleteThanks BJ. There was a couple times my hair stood on end. So much lightening. Now things are very steamy. Just when I was loving summer. LOL. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSo glad you are ok, sweet Susie!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, I am thrilled with the bit of clean up. Ted and I got our yard cleaned up. Ted helped the neighbor man get some repairs down...so all's quiet in this area again. It was close. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie, These night time storms can be so frightening. Glad you are safe. Want to let you know that Karen @ Lily Valley blog is my sister!!! She lives in IN also. Have a blessed night. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi Mildred, I am glad your sister visited my blog. ;):) Now I see how far you live from each other. Your sister has had her share of crazy In. weather too. I am thankful it has clamed down. Although Mildred it is plenty warm(Hot) here. Blessings to you, love, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI'm glad you are safe, Susie. Most of the damage (and tornados) were west of us, and I feel so bad that this area seems to always get ravaged by terrible storms. We were on alert as they were headed our way. Okay here except a lot of downed limbs and branches all over.
ReplyDeleteSummer is here, thus the crazy weather!
Jane
Blondie, I inderstand what you mean...seems some places are in the line of crazy weather more often than others. I am truly thankful we didn't have more damage. Just things easily taken care of, as picking up the yard. Ted did help our neighbor fix some of his house trim. My twins lost power thru the night. That is one thing I fear from storms. They are fine now. I am thankful you are okay there. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh Susie, thank goodness all is well at your house. I don't think anyone is escaping these storms this year. I love the little volunteer plant, he seems to be a survivor!! Ha..ha!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, stay safe!
Gert
Gert, Some times the weather condition make me nuts. Flooding on the east coast and wildfires on the west. The west truly could use some rain. I am thankful things were mild here in our area. Yesterday the neighbor lady said it was a tornado in the town west of here..but it looked more like those straight line winds. Uprooted trees and blew apart pole barns. The little viola is so happy and hardy at the bottom of the steps...I just had to leave him. :):) Blessings to you , xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteI didn't know you had storms there, Susie. Glad you did ok through it all. Love that sweet little duck. I bet you and Ted had a lot of clean up to do, oh my!
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
