It's been awful wet around these parts. Rained so hard the visibility was about a quarter mile.
Then In the afternoon yesterday, the sun came out. I did sit on the porch for a bit praying, taking photos. I always put my containers under the covered part when the rain is heavy. Then get them back out for sunshine. :)
The birds were out singing and looking for food. This robin is the one with the raggedy nest on the drain pipe. She was not happy with me sitting out. Oh chill momma birdy, I like to be outside too.
Here's our great granddaughter Layla , all ready for the wet weather. She just hasn't gotten the hang of her umbrella yet. I see she loves the big puddles though. LOL
Late last night there were some tornado warnings for Frankfort and Kokomo. Two storms rolled in Tipton at the same time...you all know what that does with satellite TV..so no view of the weather. I just go to the basement and watch it on a TV with rabbit ears. A lot of rain was dumped in a short time....the sump pumps came on for a few minutes. Then the worst of the storm was gone.
Today was more heavy rain. It's standing in the fields a bit. But it's to clear up this afternoon and be pleasant. Happy day. :):) Wishing all of you a beautiful safe Sunday. XO
Hi Susie, Layla is so cute! Remember the Morton Salt girl illustration...when it rains, it pours!
ReplyDeleteWe are having heavy rain and thunder today. I hope you will see the sunshine later today. xoxo
Mildred, You know, I just love that Morton girl. :):) Layla will be my very own. LOL. Hope your rains were not too heavy. I heard a thunder yesterday that last for the longest time and then I wondered just how long was that streak of lightening. :) Blessings, love you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love that photo of Layla. That is priceless. You should frame that one! Yes, we got the very heavy rain and hail and wind just before my granddaughter's prom, but it turned out okay.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I am glad the weather was okay for your granddaughter's prom...no young lady wants to be get wet then. Layla makes me laugh..love that child. Blessings for a good day there. The sun is trying hard to be out here. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGlad you didn't have violent weather! We have had two bouts of rain but the storms today went north and east of us. Praise God! Today is roofing day! They have nearly half of it up now!
ReplyDeleteOh, that sweet pic of Layla with her umbrella was my favorite! Happy Sunday, Honey!
Linda, Glad the rains went around you. Once you get your nice new room out front , you won't mind it. Don't little children just steal our hearts. Layla makes me laugh. Blessings, love you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLol, Layla reminds me so much of my granddaughter Megan. When I took her to England when she was five years old, she insisted on carrying her "brumbrella" upside down the entire time we were there :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have had more than your fair share of rain, but ooh how it makes the flowers happy :)
Hugs,
~Jo
Jo, That just is so funny about your granddaughter. I think all kids want an umbrella but really don't know how to carry them. Love the way she pronounced it. :):) Oh dear more rain coming in this new week. But right now the sun is shining and I love it. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt's the same here. It looks like we are in for more rain this next week as well. I am tired of the rain!
ReplyDeleteCarol, If only we could get an inch of rain every week...that would be plenty. I am enjoying my sunshine at this moment. Blessings to you, hope you get sunny days also. xoxo, Susie
DeleteLayla is adorable. How fun to play in the rain puddles. We got about the same weather as you had. Just glad the sun came out in the afternoon. Rain predicted all this week too. I guess the April Showers waited until May this year! Have a great new week.
ReplyDeleteKris
Kris, Yes, we are in for a day or so of nice weather...then it's rainy for about 6 days. Layla will get to use her umbrella lots. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat a precious photo of Layla. Playing in puddles is fun at any age. We have had some heavy rainstorms too. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteLaura, I think so may states are getting heavy rains...I do not think anyone could be in a draught stage. Blessings, hope your knee is better. xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat picture of Layla is just too cute! Hope you have some nice weather this week. It looks as if you have had enough rain for awhile.
ReplyDeleteKathy, We had plenty of rain since spring arrived . Then the temps get real high...too high for May. We have sunshine this morning..hooray. Tomorrow may be some scattered showers then rain the rest of the week.I may have to borrow Layla's umbrella. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSuzie, I hope you get some sunshine! I'm wishing the same for us. :) We've had a ton of rain and even had freezing temps for two nights. It's suppose to be sunny all this week and then rainy next weekend. Hoping to get the rest of my pots planted. Your little grand is so cute with her umbrella!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Jann, I know it snowed in SLC last week. Our grandson's wife snapped us some photos. Yes, I want some nice reasonably warm sunny days. I don't like hot 80-90 degree days either.LOL. I need to plant more things here also...my cold and the weather has held me back. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, we had lots of rain in April, but it seems to be the last of it, and it's getting warmer here and definitely signs of summer coming. Layla looks so cute with her umbrella. I love to see your porch all covered with rain and snow, it's so pretty. And I'm glad you got to sit outside just to enjoy the sun while it lasted. I love to hear what's going on around my friend's neck of the woods, Susie.
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
Sheri, Our little Layla is such a funny little thing. I just would love more time with her. You know when both parents work and their schedules are often evenings...it's hard to get everyone together. I did sit out this Monday afternoon. I like to just look at the birds and flowers. Hope you are having some good adventures. Blessings, love you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLooks good to me - 103 right now where I live.
ReplyDeleteDebby, I don't think I would like 103 temperatures. You know some people will say..it's a dry heat. once the temps get so high..it's all hot. Wishing you a cooler day. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie
ReplyDeleteWe have also been getting rain (and even some snow) the past two weeks. It's a good thng here as we are usually very dry and fire danger is high. Your granddaughter looks adorable in her raincoat, boots and umbrella. Those puddles were waiting for her to jump in!
Hi Pat, Hope you and yours are well. Yes, Layla loves to be a girl. LOL. She is so funny. She'll be jumping puddles again soon. it's to rain the end of the week. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
