Good morning. Lil0, that picture looks like it would bring back fun memories for those who participated. I don't think I ever heard of such a thing during my childhood.
Squirrel, I know what a relief it is to have the severe storms split and go in other directions. I'm so glad you were in the "miss" last night. Good for you to send those reports back for correction. I hope by doing so you may avoid a full-blown migraine.
Sexton, you're to be commended for your devotion. Getting up at 4:00 a.m. is my idea of torture.
Wilde Woman, nothing like a sunflower peeking in to brighten a day! Hurray for you, getting some sunshine!
Robin, thanks for the reminder I need to get on my mower guy's list... Robin, I'm concerned about you. I wish they had tried harder to figure out what's wrong with you. I'm hoping and praying you will be better before Friday but if you aren't and you do have to go back, be thinking if there are any things you've done or places you've been that could give a clue to check for something more "exotic." When my son got Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever it wasn't right up there on their list of things to check. Be better soon!!
Like Squirrel, I'd only seen pictures or movies of Maypole. Here in Texas the celebrations will soon focus on Cinco de Mayo. But even that was not "a thing" for more than half of my life. I'm not sure when, why, or how it happened but some years ago it turned into something big. Anyway, I slept until 8:00 this morning and haven't done much beyond the routine essentials so far. The storms here will begin to move in after 4:00 p.m. They're saying worse than the ones last night, which didn't reach us at all but caused misery for Oklahoma.
Be safe and well, everyone.
