We finally have sunshine around here. Things were BAD last night, and mucky before that. We were under tornado warnings starting about 8:15 PM. I was at Bible Study at church and we got a call that we were in line for a bad storm with 60-70 mile/hour straight line winds due in our area in about 5 minutes. So, we dismissed, got the kids on the vans and on their way, and the rest of us headed for home. And they were right. The lightning display was phenomenal. Of course, we couldn't see too much of it as we were holed up in a "room in the middle of the house on the lower floor away from windows." I know that warning by heart.
We were fortunate, though. The storm split and went south of us and north of us. I understand Ft. Smith Arkansas got brutalized with tennis ball size hail. Cars and roofs, etc. really devastated.
There were tornados in the air overhead, but fortunately, none touched down that we've heard of.
So you can tell I am REALLY happy to have sun shining this afternoon. Spring is beautiful. The leaves are beginning to form, our pond is full to overflowing, the grass is green, the air is fresh, and we are safe in our little corner of the world once again. Thank You, Lord.
I'm posting a good salad recipe that I've gotten from a friend of mine. So, if you enjoy a good salad made with baby spinach and a little tangy, give this a try.
