Wonderful Sunday!

Sunday's are always wonderful but today I also had some of my neighbors over dinner. It was pretty awesome! The spaghetti was a hit! :) There was a wonderful little bookcase at the thrift store Saturday. It worked wonderfully for the kids items that I have and it seemed to go over really well with the kids that were over tonight. I'll have to invite neighbors over now and again!

Dave has been very heavy on my mind today. I'm not sure why. But there has really been a feeling of comfort and that all will turn out well. What that means I have not a clue but it is comforting!! :) It's been real to me lately that we just don't know what is going on in other people's minds, what they might be fighting or trying deal with or trying to figure out. It's also been real to me that when we try to do it under our own power that it can seem totally impossible. Our Father leads and guides and can use many situations that seem nigh impossible to do a wonderful work. He knows the end, we only know what we're going through, dealing with.

The thunderstorms the last couple of weeks have been amazing. I thought one of the clouds was an anvil but someone let me know that it was actually a shelf cloud. It was very intriguing to look at it and watch the rotation and the clouds kind of boil around. Was amazing to see one first hand, especially since nothing came down! I can continue to live without seeing a tornado first hand! The hail that came down last week was at least nickle size while I was at work. It did a bit of leaf damage to the peppers and tomatoes. I came home to some leaves scattered around. There's definitely more intense thunderstorms here then I'm used to and I'm loving it! :) Have said that before and will probably say it again.  :)

I'm still trying to get along the road weeded and cleared out. I'm at least halfway through the long stretch. With lots of sunshine this week I'm hoping to get close to done by the end of the week on the one side of the driveway! It's supposed to be in the mid 80's all week with full on sunshine every day. We'll see if thunderstorms start creeping into the forecast as the week goes. Got my shelves for upstairs ordered so once those get installed more cleaning out will commence as books are unpacked and put on shelves. I'm looking forward to getting the loft settled. It's just my desk in the corner and a bunch of boxes at the moment.

The 'kids' area!

Pippy and Mia are loving the sunshine!

I found this picture, while unpacking, of Erika and Christina. Christina would have been about 2 1/2 here and Erika 7.

Thunderstorm rolling through at work.

I've been told this is a shelf cloud. It was truly amazing. Passed right over my house.

Right after the shelf cloud went over there was this.

The hails large enough that you can see it falling.

A bit more progress has been made since this picture. Goal is to put gravel down to have an area for people to park.
