Latest Storms

This spring has brought a lot of storms to our part of Texas. Last night we had tornadoes in the area.  Deborah, Daniel J, and Daniel S were over.  We all piled into the hall closet, aka The Cave, along with Collin Muttley and Deborah/Daniel's German shepherd, Sandy.  Now that everything's all right, it was pretty funny.

This morning, I had a chance to get out and look at the garden.  Several plants were beaten down by the storm.  We had Swiss Chard, lettuce, and tomatoes from the garden for dinner.

The extremely high winds last night tore the canopy on the porch swing.

Several plants were broken by the high winds.

Broken limb on the apple tree.  It lost one apple.

The carrots are kind of droopy now.

Not really sure what the onions are doing.

The wind was strong enough to move bricks, too.

Fallen lettuce plant.  We had salad for dinner.

Purple cabbage

The beautiful Easter Lily

Swiss Chard had quite a few broken stems.  Chard for dinner, too.

Petunias didn't handle the hail and wind very well.

The yard is beautiful bright green.  It enjoyed the 4+ inches of rain.
