With the rain that we have had all day it has made our plans to go and watch the fireworks downtown a no go, I am sure glad that we went to the lake and watched the fireworks at Nashville Shores last night. They are calling for severe storms tonight so I think we will just stay in where it is dry and watch the fireworks on TV, maybe next year we can make it downtown to see the show live and in person.
Almost every house along our street has some damage from the wind and rain last night. It hit here about 5 pm and we did not get our power restored until about 9 last night. We have a couple of small limbs torn down but just a few houses down a whole tree came down barely missing the house. I am glad we did not have any drama like that and they are calling for more storms tonight, lets hope they are wrong. We have had a storm filled June and I for one will be very happy to get on into July and see if the weather will calm down a bit with summer getting here.
We have had so much rain this month they have opened the flood gates at Dale Hollow Lake and those have not been open for 25 years. The lake right by our house is letting out water at an alarming rate and the picnic tables are still flooded. Lets hope we get some warn sunny weather soon or we will be living in a swamp. It has been raining off and on today and we really do not need any more rain.
Yesterday Phil the Groundhog saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter and that makes me very angry. Who decides if Phil sees his shadow it is not Phil, he is a big rat and can make no decisions of his own. I think the man who decided owns a snow removal company and needed a few more weeks of work in his business, thats the only thing that makes sense to me. I am so ready for spring it makes me mad to think that we will have to deal with six more weeks of winter.
Today was one of the gloomiest days I can ever remember in all of my days. It was very cold and cloudy and damp not a very good combination at all. I much more prefer warm and sunny and dry, if I had my choice of weather combinations. It looks like we are in for several days of this cloudy, gloomy stuff before we get back to clear warmer days, let us hope that I can survive the gloom and get back into a better frame of mind with the warmer weather.
