Yesterday we sat quietly in the house listening to the winds
beat up the siding and rain like crazy. We heard things hitting the side of our
home, but we didn't go outdoors. The thunder claps made me jump several times.
Storms are one of those things that I totally dislike since seeing my
babysitter hit by lightning when I was a child. ( A story for another time) I’ll actually walk quickly to get into
the house. I don’t like watching the lightning
hit ground or hearing the claps of thunder at all.
While I was waiting for the storm to pass I did get to work
on the Upcycled dog bed made from old denim jeans of my daughter I started several months ago for Bandit and I got several parts finished and prepped myself
for installing a zipper something I have been avoiding like the plague. I've
been a button, snap, and Velcro crafter for closures until I decided I need to
overcome the obstacle of installing zippers, which I haven’t yet since I’m
still cutting, pinning, and sewing pieces together.
We kept the local news channel on the entire time even
through the crummy paid informational ads that repeat the same thing over and
over. Finally went to sleep at about three o’clock in the morning after the
worst of it went through. Before going to sleep I did find text weather alerts
from the Weather Channel before going to sleep, which was a relief since our
local news channel only has alerts for iPhone4s and above phones. It doesn't make any sense to me at all.
Saturday morning my daughter, Bandit, and I went for our
daily morning walk looking for damage around our neighborhood. It was really
wet out so our feet sunk in the ground. I was really glad I chose to wear
tennis shoes instead of my flip flops I've had for at least five years
otherwise my socks would have been soaked from the pot holes in the road and
wet grass. Thankfully the only damage I found was a tree limb laying on the
ground snapped in half and some leaves laying all over the ground that weren't there
Friday evening.
