I AM ALIVE!!!!

Hi All,

Just a quick post to let you know I now have internet service again---we were off-line for 2 1/2 days due to the number of storms that kept training through the area, wiping out the towers.
I am exhausted, I am not ashamed to say. I beg forgivness for not answering comments on the last post---I am further behind than I was before! (which actually, is rather laughable!)
I will get a decent something or other on here...hmmmmm...not tomorrow but maybe the next day which I think is Saturday, but I would not bet on it.
I have to admit, previously I was out with camera shooting storm pics and getting some interesting shots. But last night's hum-dinger sent me straight to the cellar.
Imagine, if you will, a HUGE, BLACK, THICK blanket of mean cloud, moving stealthily across the area at a frightening pace. Only a tidbit of light left in the horizon line, so the stuff was low. And I do mean LOW.
Grabbed the hubster and off we went. Frankly, I am glad I did not have a radar image. I think I would have popped the last nerve I had left....which is pretty well frayed today.
I will try and catch up with everyone; thanks for the e-mails about our safety. I have sooooooo had enough! Words do not describe!!!
Take care y'all and see you with something creative next time----I promise!

Pax...

Hey Toto....Was That The Wicked Witch That Just Flew By???

Just in case you were wondering how I spent my evening.......as this monster rolled in, I thought it would be interesting to get photos.

Still not too frightening, though I noticed some VERY COLD AIR was starting to blow.....

.....And it did seem to be coming in at a rapid pace......yikes.......

 

.....And this was when I exited the cover of the porch for the safety of the house! If you notice, the trees are whipping about. I was no more inside before all hell broke loose; thunder, lightening, 60 MPH winds, hail and sheets of rain so intense and white I could not see the field at the side of our yard.

And it had no more passed and calmed to normal rain, then the power went out.

For two hours. (I read to the birds this time, because they are as scared as I was.....)

I had great sympathy and many prayers for the Linemen that have to go out and fix electricity in the WET. Just think about that one for a minute.....

And then later, we were treated to......

.....Pink, lavender and peach clouds, beautiful but.....

.....Those are clouds that still have some serious punch left in them.

Had no internet last evening nor this morning; behind on everything and have some work issues here I am going to have to figure out so I may be off blog or not visiting until I can get them under control. This has to do with paying work.

If any of you use a Janome 10000 and have the software for embroidery and really know how to use it, please--I beg you--e-mail me. If I can't get this to work, I am up a dirty little creek with no paddle and back to square one on one very important element!

Okay kiddies.......I'm off to a day of grunt work and thinking. Oy.

Pax.
