Thunderstorms on the Way

The weatherman says we could see thunderstorms later this week. Our little Boston Terrier, Holly, really gets scared when she hears thunder. She sleeps on her afgan on a lazy boy chair in the bedroom and the minute she hears thunder, you can hear her feet hit the floor. Then she starts wimpering and pacing the floor. She sometimes will do that when there is a hard rain hitting the windows too. I feel sorry for her because there isn't anything you can do to comfort her.

Thunderstorms

We had 89 degrees today and it has been cool up until yesterday. This is too hot and causes severe thunderstorms to occur. We went to the next town about 20 miles away to eat and left all our windows open because it was stifling inside and our little dog, Holly, was panting even with fans running.

It began to rain as we finished eating and got into the car with rain drops the size of quarters. As we drove home, we got into heavier rain with the largest rain drops and by the time we got home it was dry. We didn't get any rain at all. We could really use it but I am glad it didn't rain in the windows and wet the carpet, etc. We always unplug the antenna too just in case of lightning because we have been hit in the past.
Holly has finally cooled off and cool breezes are now blowing through the house. It will be about 25 degrees cooler tomorrow and we are supposed to get rain Saturday and Sunday. Our flowers could use it.

Beautiful Weather

Today is a beautiful day. The sun is shining at last. We had thunderstorms again last night. The wind is really blowing hard. There are leaves all over the lawn and on the neighbors roofs. It looks like the rain is over until tonight. They are predicting severe storms every night for a couple more nights and then rain for 4-5 more days. Better get out and enjoy today.
