Loving the Month of May

The weather has been changing daily.  It is like being on a roll a coaster.  We went from 88 degrees two days ago to highs in the upper 50's.  It rained all night and a tornado touched down to close for comfort yesterday evening.  We were blessed that no one died, but a farm and five houses were completely destroyed.  We have been extremely lucky that a couple of the really severe storms have gone around us.  Laney has been on guard a lot.  She always senses bad weather and perches herself on the back of the couch and trembles.  This weather system is suppose to settle down by the weekend and Laney will be relieved.

I was out to lunch with friends on Tuesday.  We were able to eat outside.  It was so refreshing and we could see children enjoying the warm weather as they ran through an outdoor fountain.  We were all starting to sweat, but no one dared to complain after living through our arctic winter.  We sipped ice tea and enjoyed the spring breeze.  I am very grateful for the company of  friends and laughter.  This is turning out to be a nice May.

Our calendar is filled with birthdays, graduation parties, and lots of outdoor activities.  I am proud to say that we have another college graduate in the family.  Congratulations to my son-in-law on his recent graduation from Ohio State University.  We are very proud of him and I know he is relieved that he is done.  I hope life brings him many more blessings.

Hope where ever you are that spring is filled with many blessings and of course beautiful flowers.

Life is beautiful !!
