Kansas Weather!



Okay.. ENOUGH ALREADY!!! It is JUNE...it's supposed to be Summer...dry, hot, etc. But NOOOO... not here in Kansas. This is what we've been experiencing.


Yesterday was such a mess! We had 4 1/2 inches of rain in just a couple of hours. Tons of lightning, wind, and hail. Luckily (PTL) the tornadoes stayed away.


The hail we had was brief and not nearly as large as in this photo, but it's still scary. I was at the grocery store when it hit. The building has a metal roof and believe you me, it was LOUD. We ended up with pea size, marble size, and some quarter size. Yep, dents in the car!


After the storm was OVER, we were beginning to relax, and BOOM.. we have a lightning strike in our back yard! It struck a power pole and mercy... you know the 'arcing' sound when a transformer is hit??? Well, it did that 3 times. A big greenish ball of what I guess was energy pulsed at the top of the pole, then huge sprays of sparks flew in all directions. Scared us to bits!
We called 911, the fire dept. came and looked at it. They just said that they would report it to the elec. company.
Then... later we see a police car pull up out front. We go look out back and there's a fire going in the tree whose branches were touching the lines going to the pole that was struck. The fire dept. were back. They said it would just burn itself out and they would (again) report it to the elec. company. A big limb finally burnt through and it dropped on our side of the fence. Everything was so wet from all the rain that it went out.
God was watching over us, He REIGNS!

How's your weather lately?

Blessings,
Penny

More Sweet Dollies!

Hello everyone! Hope you're having a LOVELY weekend!

Wanted to share with all of you because if I don't these little innocent looking girls will pester me. They might look like sweet primitive dolls, but they're really a menagerie of ornery-ness (Is that a word?).

The cats and the bunny talk behind each other's backs, and the three little prim girls tell me that they, "... just wanna have fun." They are all listed on eBay this week. Click on their names to see the listing.

This is Prudence & her Crow. (If you ask me I think the Crow is really the ringleader).


Here is Kathleen Iddie Biddie Kittie. She does not ever shed but loves to take long soaking baths.


Pootsie and Lil Anne are inseparable (not really, she's just holding her...). I think she looks so old, but actually they have just had a rough life in the arms of an adoring child. Darling Hubby Randy made them. I really love them.


Lola Iddie Biddie Kittie just LOVES to gossip. Her favorite time of year is Fall, she even has a little pumpkin 'bag' she carries.


This is Bernice Raggedy. She loves the Lord Jesus and likes to tell everyone she meets. She doesn't ever say anything bad about anyone.


Destiney Bunny is a sweetheart, but she loves to tease and play practical jokes, the little stinker!


I hope you all enjoyed meeting them. Now maybe they will settle down and stop complaining that I don't talk about them.

God Bless you all,
Penny
