Our daffies are scattered around the yards willy-nilly. Hubby’s aunts and mom seemed to stick flowers in the ground with no rhyme or reason over the years. “Hey, there’s an empty spot. It needs a flower.” LOL
I’m careful as one can be when lightning is bouncing around. Sometimes it tends to sneak up like it did today. But hey, that’s part of the thrill! LOL!
I think it sort of goes hand in hand. :)
Maybe there was method in their “madness”! When they bloom, you get litte surprises as to where they’re gonna pop up! :) Kind of fun!
Not much method to their madness. A couple of spots were once fence rows but the rest are just hodge-podge. But it does look pretty when they bloom so we’ve left them where they are.
Probably smart. it would be back-breaking to dig them all up and put them in a central location. This way, no matter which way you look...there are happy daffies. :)
The ol’ back aches just thinking about digging them up. Nope, they’ll just stay where they are. LOL
Man, just watched the Nashville news and we really did get lucky. They showed some ugly wind damage not all that far north of us. Some winds were 100 mph! We had wind but nothing nearly that bad. I feel for those who were caught in those storms.
Yikes!! Glad you didn’t get that kind of wind, but sorry anyone did! Hope no one was injured...they will see some mighty damage in the morning. Like y’all did.
No reports of injuries so far and that’s good. The scariest moments had to be for the people driving on I-24 and a tractor-trailer was blown over on top of them. Someone in a car next to them caught it with their cell phone video and holy cow! The car wasn’t crushed so the people weren’t hurt but they probably need to change their britches after that!
It was still daylight when these storms hit so those with damage have already seen it. They already know what tomorrow will call for in the way of clean-up.
At least the next round coming through TN now isn’t nearly as bad. Could be a little lightning but no wind damage.
Hi radu....all the outside lanes on my was home are WET! Some places the puddles take out the whole lane. But I was pleasantly surprised that my route to work was 95% better than I anticipated.
Did you get any fun weather today?
I have 2 big pines down. Several more trees down in the woods behind me. And, I lost a piece of aluminum flashing off the house.
Let me tell you, the house made that same “I don’t want to stand” sound it made in April, 2011 during the tornado outbreak. Glad to be OK.
And, I’m Chirping birds FWIW. The post wouldn’t work earlier.
Yikes! Those folks are VERY lucky! They could have been squished!
I hope you get some more rain, but none of the nasty stuff. Supposed to be windy here the next couple of days, but no rain in the forecast. Darn it!
YAY! Glad you didn’t have too much trouble driving today. That’s a lot of snow to melt and flush away, no doubt. Gonna take a while.
As for weather, take a peek at post 15 to get an idea of our late afternoon. LOL! More comments scattered through the Canteen as well. It was a wild day in TN but we were lucky this time.
Dang, sorry to hear you got caught up in one of the bad storms. There were some monsters out there today.
We lost several cedar trees in the storm that ripped through TN the night of the 9th and had a little building damage.
I shudder to think about the April 2011 storms. We were clobbered that time and lost a LOT of trees as well as our tractor shed.
I’m getting a bad feeling we’re going to have another rough year in TN. You have that same feeling?
They were lucky indeed! My mouth dropped open as I saw the video of it on tv. Holy cow! I’m glad it ended as well as it did. They’re out a vehicle but they’re ok.
We could use more rain tonight and some more lightning would be nice. LOL! But no more wind!
Oh, I know you’ll be out there getting more scaps if you can get away with it! Just be keerful, gal! :)
You bet I will! LOL! Camera is sitting on the desk ready to go if there’s anything to get video of. Video is the best way to get good lightning shots.
I never thought of that before, but I sure will now! LOL!
