Yesterday wasn't just dark and dreary; it was downright frightening. The National Weather Service posted tornado, high wind, severe thunderstorm warnings and flash flood advisories, and while we were spared the tornadoes the rest came to fruition.
We deferred to the ominous skies and frightening winds and stayed in most of the day. I planned 90% of my garden and 'pot-scape', and started on that shopping list (I have to hurry before Richard sends out my picture to local nurseries with a warning "DO NOT SELL TO THIS WOMAN". (I just cast a wider net. VA and PA aren't that far.))

Crazy weather all up and down the East Coast yesterday. I got caught in the worst of our storm while doing our grocery shopping... probably not the wisest thing I've ever done.

Very eerie and dangerous. I went to sleep earlier than usual to escape the thunder. "Isn't it nice to be home again?" I bet you were singing that song the moment you walked into your home. I love that James.
Wise decision.
P.S. Glad to hear that you have almost finished planning your garden for this year.
True, we do have to do this at times. The wise one does it before the luxury of making a choice is no longer an option. I'm glad you turned around and headed home.
Glad you made it back home safely, Kathy. That weather this weekend has been horrible for many areas of the country. We had FIVE inches of rain, wind, thunder, lightning, etc. --but luckily no tornadoes here...
I have no idea what a Man Cave Christening is.... Please tell this ole' southern gal.
Hugs,
Betsy
Do please continue to take care. We've been seeing all those frightening news clips on TV. It's truly horrifying. Better to be safe than sorry.
It was terrible weather to be out...much safer to stay home. Today, though...so bright and beautiful! One for two isn't bad. If you need to cast an even wider net, there's always the famous Ronnies, right down the street from me (almost)...we could have lunch!
Those storms that rolled through the South over the last three days were nothing to be taking chances with.
I'm glad you were spared tornadoes in your area, but it sounds as if you had more than your share of nasty stuff. I'm glad you are all safe.
If your husband's posters go out further than you expect, you should know that we have some wonderful nurseries in Warren county near here.
That was some truly awful weather. Agnes and I judge how frightening a storm is by how long it takes to coax Nessa (the dog) out from underneath my desk in the study...and we set a new record on Saturday!
So glad you are ok. While we were out at the truck museum, a grandaughter called. Her area had just been struck by a tornado, and she was frightened to death. Afterwards she called back to say she was ok. We are glad for you too.
Wait...you're supposed to PLAN a garden??? I'm still at the stage where I say Oooo pretty, I'll take six! Although I've finally gotten better about making sure whatever it is will thrive without much sun..
I'm glad you survived the storm, that sounds scary.
We had some of the storms travel up here. I never heard my house shake and creak from the wind as much as it did that night!
You were wise to turn back home. It was a good reminder lesson about re-evaluate and change course!
Those storms make your hair stand up and take notice! I remember seeing a greenish-purple sky while driving home, and hearing tornado warnings on the radio. When did Maryland turn into Kansas?
Ha! I know what you mean about concerned loved ones sending out notices to our haunts of "Do not sell to this woman!" Mine would be bookstore and art supply stores.
We had a big storm the other night, a first for my two little kittens. Their eyes were big as dinner plates. I don't think they have ever snuggled closer.
