I've been loafing and not posting, sorry about that ------

 

 Well, the storms and tornadoes made another run on us last night, this time they went to the south of us by about 8 miles so we are all safe and sound.  We had a little over 2 inches of rain in about a 4 hour period with lots of wind and lightning.

 

  I have been having a little run in with my health here of late.  I have to go back tomorrow and maybe then we can get it all under control.

 

The garden is all planted except the tomatoes and we will plant them probably on Friday if the ground is dry enough or as soon as the ground dries up enough to plant them.  Well, can't think of anything else to say except take care yall and

"Yall come and see us now,    ya'hear".

 

Hey yall, we have been found by a new cousin ----

Yep, Patricia Doherty has caught up with us.  Patricia is Aunt Leola and Uncle Bill Harses Grandaughter.  She lives close to Saskatoon SK. way up there in the North country.  Her Mother was Leota Harse, Leota was older than most of us and has passed away.  They lived in England most of her life, but I understand they have been living in Canada for about the last 4 or 5 years.

 

Anyway, yall say hello to our newfound cousin.

 

 

Which is worse ---???

 

 I don't know what is worse, shoveling snow or cutting grass.  I spent most of Saturday cutting grass, with the temperature in the low 80's it is a sweaty job.  I haven't shoveled snow in many years, but as I remember it, it was cold hard work.  I'll take the grass cutting myself.  The temperatures here are in the high 70's to low 80's now with a cool front that yall send down to us every now and again dropping it back to the low 70's for a day or two.

Last night the cool front clashed with the warm air causing several tornadoes around the area.  Quite a few folks were killed about 60 miles north of here and over in Arkansas.  The thunder boomers were quite intense at times.  Some of them were dropping as much as 20 inches of rain per hour, of course they were moving at 30 to 60 miles per hour, so no one got 20 inches in an hour.  We had one come through here with wind gusts of 36 miles per hour and lots of rain but we had no damage from it  otherwise, we just had lots of rain.
