Wolves

Apparently, last week's storm wasn't officially a Spring Storm.  It was just a storm.

 

However, we could get the first official Spring Storm tonight.  And the second one possibly tomorrow.

 

We are not expected to get anything bad here, we could get rain and thunder which could also include hail.  But it is not expected to be the B.A.D. stuff.

 

This is what the forecasters have been doing for a while on tv:

Crying Wolf!

People are a little more aware of the weather this year, mostly due to May 20, 2013.  That's not a bad thing, to be aware.  The problem is that the forecasters are dramatic on a good day and ridiculous on a bad day.  Today is probably not going to be a B.AD. day, but they are making is seem like it's a given that it will be.  This will continue for a while, every time we have even the slightest chance of a storm.  The result will be that people will eventually (maybe soon) stop even listening, because the forecasters are so dramatic.  That could well mean that when something does happen, more people will be hurt because the idiotic forecasters will have turned people off from being warned!

 

We finally finished Otter's birthday cake today.  It wasn't a huge cake, but it was big enough.

 

The Aripachi machines have all gone on their way to their new home!  The garage actually has a floor, I'd kind of forgotten about that.  :)

 

Frasier was playing with Bill while ago.  BigStink (dog's nickname, not Bill!) was bouncing around and seemed to be having a good time.  At one point, Bill draped one of their blankets over the dog and he ran around the living room for a while with it on.  He wasn't afraid of it or anything, he just didn't seem to care about the fact that it was on him.  When SuperDog decided it was time to go out, he went out the dog door and the blanket went part of the way out with him.  I think he's having a well-deserved doggy nap now.  He's just like a big puppy!

 

Maggie Moo isn't being ignored, she was part of the fun as well.  It's just that it's amazing to me how young Frasier is acting.  It's wonderful.

 

I went out in the back yard earlier.  While I was out there, I was looking at my Redbud tree which is covered in tiny pink buds and blossoms.  It's beautiful.  It was covered in honeybees!  They generally leave me alone, they are not aggressive so I felt safe to get pretty close.  They just zoomed around me and continued on their way to redbud blossoms.  There were a LOT of bees.  Enough that I think someone in the are might have hives.  They could be from a wild hive, but I don't think so.  Either way, they are more than welcome!

 

But no yellow jackets or hornets are allowed.  EVER.
