Ok....so I'm a true Californian, and one day of storming feels like a zillion! The day before yesterday, it was fairly warm, and pretty much clear skies. When the weather man said that a storm was going to be rolling in, I was thinking "yeah, right". Well, he turned out to be right for once. Yesterday, there were thunderstorms all day long and lots of rain (nothing like in the midwestern states right now, but for us it's a lot). Then, as I was driving, marble sized hailstones started pelting my truck. The strange thing was that after I crossed over the river, it just stopped. I looked back in my mirror and could see the hail still coming down on the other side of the bridge. And of course I don't have my camera! Figures! It's been cold and cloudy most of the morning, but the sun finally decided to come out and cheer everyone up for a while. But it's not supposed to last long....another big one is rolling in tonight. So I'll just stay snuggled up with my kitties and blankies. LOL

That would have been a cool picture to take! It's weird to be in a place with no precipitation, yet you could see just right over the way, rain is coming down in torrents. I don't like the rain a lot because my apartment in beneath the main level, and when it rains, the rain tends to come inward towards my front doorstep. So I get in and out of there as quickly as possible!

Stormy weather... my favorite thing! We tuck in and wait it out, and if we lose electricity, we all snuggle as well, and listen to the radio. Since this happens all the time, we've learned to use our outdoor grill and its side burner to keep coffee going, and to warm water to fill our dove's 'hot water bottles'! Where we are, the sun is a rarity!

LOL! We're lucky in the cooking and heating department when the power goes out. The electricity is through one company, and the gas is through another. So if the electricity goes out, we still have gas to cook and heat the house with. We also have one of the smaller Foreman Grills to cook with too. Those work really well, and you can use them in the house. Thanks hon.
