Really Mother Nature?

Someone ticked Mother Nature off.  They must have - there is no other explanation for the really crummy weather she has been giving us.  The calendar tells me it is summer, but I have my doubts.  This is what I have seen so far this summer...

  1. Hail.  Lots of hail.  BIG hail, small hail, lots and lots of hail. Dakota's car has some not so pretty new dimples and I'm really grateful that mine gets to live in a garage most of the time.
  2. Wind that blows non-stop.  I have lost count of the number of limbs I have seen down around my neighborhood.
  3. Rain, of the torrential variety.  Some days up to two inches of rain.  While my grass is very green, it is also soggy and full of weeds and impossible to mow - because of the rain.  And let's not discuss my vegetable plants that drowned.  Poor tomatoes...
  4. Thunderstorms - amazing light shows but that thunder makes it hard to sleep.
  5. Tornado warnings and actual tornadoes.  Not much more needs said about that.  
As you can see, what is missing from my list is calm, sunny, warm days.  Sigh...

Maybe Mother Nature can be bribed to ante up some good summer weather. Maybe I can start with a sacrificial hormonal teenage boy or two??

Welcome to Our Family Blog

I have started this blog as a way to share pictures and family stories with those we love. Moving to Nebraska has been the start of a new adventure for us -- one that leaves our oldest heading out into the world on his own and the younger two starting new adventures as well. Come along with us and take on Life on the Nebraska Praire!
