Ooh. I don't think I'd like the sirens.

Yeah, it's not a good way to wake up at 11 pm.

Oh and we found out this morning that the fast moving tornado barely jumped over us. It was near by on both sides, but seems to have lifted over our neighborhood. It was a little one, so the damage it caused in OKC metro was minor.

The same storm produced multiple twisters, though, and before it got to us, out west of here, it killed people.

My early plantings survived a late April snow here a Buddy's Haven while I was down in San Antonio last week. The rule of thumb here is "no planting until Mother's Day" but it's been such a nice Spring I couldn't wait. Poppies, pansies, & petunia's only so far, though.....

My rule back in IL was Memorial day, LOL... I have recently learned that the rule down here is when the pecan trees start to leaf out and flower, which just happened over the past couple of weeks.

my dog sasha does the same thing

We changed to the allergy care food a long time ago with no changes. We had the air ducts cleaned, we changed to unscented laundry detergent/softener, we tried those remedies Jackson Galaxy sells, we tried a pheromone diffuser..... Vet says it's PROBABLY fleas, even though we see no evidence of them. So, we are back on flea treatment, too.
However, Annabel also developed a slight limp recently, so maybe, all along, it has been pain? Ugh... I wish we could chat with her.

Pete is just as Petey as always.
The cadre of wildlings outside is doing okay.
The Dragons aren't really "pets," per se. They kind of do their own thing. They're fine.

The Roost has had quite the shift in energies over the past couple of months.
R_D's dad was placed in permanent, residential care.
We got the ancient wiring replaced.
We got some "new" antiques from R_D's family home, which was closed out and sold.
The additional furniture pieces inspired some "behind things" cleaning, and re-arranging.
Piles and piles of books were taken to Half Price and sold, so that we could dispose of crappy, old book cases.
The guest room was finally cleared out, re-arranged, and made into a livable space.
We gave away the exercise bike and elliptical, and our living room looks like grown ups live here now.
Bags of donations were taken out of the house.
BOTH cars were sold, and a new one purchased—we are now a 1 car household.
I think that's about it....

what about the pets? {#Biggrin}
