The day started out ok.  It was cloudy with occasional sprinkles.

We were equipped, just in case.

I showed Mom my new trick that Brother taught me.  This smaller Jolly ball was perfect for my short legs.

Of course, we had to play a little fetch.   Then……

the storms came.  It wasn’t too bad but bad enough that we had to ride it out on Mom’s lap.  The tornadic storms came yesterday evening but they were north of us.  Tornadoes touched down close to where our cousins live ; no one was hurt.  You don’t mess with tornadoes here in Oklahoma.  Take cover does not mean standing on the porch looking at the sky.  Just sayin. ~ Indy and Lucy

Last week’s rain encouraged the flowering of more ornamental trees like the redbud which happens to be one of Oklahoma’s state symbols, chosen as the state tree in 1937.  It grows well in Oklahoma gardens and parks.  This one is across the street from our house.

The warm temps allowed us to play some fetch and run around our yard a lot.

Light winds caused to petals of the Bradford pear tree to fall like snow.

You may think I’m just another pretty face but I’m not.

I am a working girl.  Here I am helping Dad rake leaves.  Actually Dad said: “You’re not helping, Lucy.”

Rain is going to start tomorrow.  Have a good week out there. ~ Lucy
