Holidays come and they go...same as the weather

Fortunately for me, most of the time they go pretty fast...today was no exception. Show up, have dinner, hang around for an hour and leave to go back home.

We had some lovely storms here last week. I ended up spending about an hour or so in the basement with the critters. *That* was interesting...corralling 3 cats into a basement with a dog they barely tolerate. Ended up stuffing them in their carriers once I was down there. The hail was lovely...for hail. We had some more hail last night I think. It stormed pretty bad.

Good news?? All my plants in the back yard have made it so far, barring all puppy and storm disasters. Even some bushes we thought were dead weren't--or so we think.

Maybe there are possibilities for enjoyment in the cesspool of life.
