Wow! Where is April going? Half gone already …
At 3:40 a.m., I was rudely roused by a roll of thunder that
jostled my bed like a drunken lover trying to sneak into beside me but failed
miserably. Welcome to springtime in St. Louis where hail and strong winds (if
not tornados) are the new norm.
Last week, a tornado struck just across the river. No, actually
TWO tornados tore through parts of St. Louis. The good news is that no one was
killed. I was afraid for a little while that it was going to repeat its path
from two years ago where it cut a swath through a neighborhood just a few
blocks away! Luckily, that didn't happen.
And, outside lightning, thunder and the occasional heavy
downpour, we've been lucky. But, we've been in severe weather mode since Sunday
and it's supposed to last right through Thursday.
The temperatures have been schizophrenic again, too. One
day, it's 80 degrees. The next day? We're lucky to get above freezing. I
hesitate to complain too much about that, fearing that we'll go straight from
65 to 85 like we did last year. I need that to not happen so we can get back
into workin' mode around here!
More later. I've been busy and wanted to check in and say
hi. So, "hi!" I'll be back soon with a bit o' commentary on current
events. (It seems wrong to complain about some storms at a time when others are
plunged into almost unfathomable grief.)
In the meantime, wherever you are, hope you're safe, happy …
and the sun is shining.
