Quite a Storm!

Amber is not afraid of storms. This is what she looked like, though, last night when we were having lots of thunder, lightning, rain, and gusty winds, plus our power going off and on repeatedly for very short periods.

When I reached out to pet her and talk to her, she climbed right up into my recliner with me, circled behind me, and settled in. Since she weighs 95 lbs, that left ME with only the front edge of the chair to balance on while I petted her and talked to her. We stayed like that for about half an hour, til things had tamed down. She jumped down and happily went back to choosing a toy from her toy basket.

This shows you a bit of what our yard looks like this morning. We have leaves EVERYWHERE. We haven’t found any damage, though, and that’s wonderful. We only have a chance for afternoon thunderstorms today, so we’re relieved.

The elephant ears came through without damage. Hooray!

The poor phlox is pretty battered. Hopefully, they’ll pull back up.

I hope that wherever you are, things are quiet.

Enjoy your Sunday.

  1. Poor Amber! My cats get really scared with thunderstorms and we have had some pretty bad ones lately. One we had two weeks ago was so bad that all the woods behind my house got flooded . . . wish I could post a photo here, he! Glad everything is OK over there! Have a great day! 🙂

    • Thanks for your kind words, Susy. Amber has never been scared before. She seems her old self today. I’m sorry you’ve had such bad storms and flooding. Scary. I’m glad you are okay. You have a wonderful day, too.
