Good morning everyone! Wow, it is Thursday May 1st and we all are beginning the month of May. I am looking forward to getting through this month because June is vacation time, birthday time, dating/anniversary time and Father’s Day so I will be taking some time off. Trust me, it is MUCH NEEDED time off as my body & brain just need to chill out for awhile doing nothing.
Today’s Topic: The weather has been dangerous across the south, east and north east all week long! It has been raining here in Pennsylvania see the wee hours on Monday. Just here in my city we have had 5″ of rain this week and we didn’t need any rain before the nasty storms hit. The past year we have gotten too much precip and frankly…we are all tired of it and praying for a dry spell soon.
Do any of you live in a flood zone? Experiencing flooding this week? We got minor flooding here in our neighborhood but the next county over from us has big flooding problems with roads being closed, people evacuated from their homes and other stuff.
Everyone who is suffering greatly right now from bad weather…you are in our thoughts & prayers. Please stay safe!

The poor folks in areas with bad weather – I am so glad the worst we have had is tons of wind and cooler-than-normal temps. We are so lucky where we are right now!
These storms that cover such huge swaths of the country are becoming more and more common, and I find it all very worrisome. So many people are affected!
On a brighter note, I’m glad you have June to look forward to. It sounds like a busy time, but busy with happy things.
I do not live in the flooding area but my heart and prayers go out to those who do. Such crazy weather all over the country right now.
I can not stand all the flooding. I feel so sorry for the people affected by this. It is terrible with the tornadoes. When is the bad weather ever going to end. I am not in the flooding area. But I am praying for those that are.
Congratulations to the 2 winners.
I am sure that you shall enjoy your time off next month. You richly deserve it and you always do so much.
W e had over 5 inches of rain too and water in the basement. Oh I hate cleaning that up, but I guess I am lucky because there were mudslides in different parts of the towns around us.
Congrats to the winners. Here where I am in NC we were expecting a LOT of rain over the last couple of days and never got a single drop. It’s like we have been in this little alley without rain, while it poured terribly on both sides of us. I hope that everyone here is safe and sound.
We live in the mountains, so we always figure if our house gets flooded we need the ark back. But the roads are dangerous with flash floods from swollen creeks.
