It Sounds Like Spring

I can tell it's spring because when I go outside, it sounds like spring.

Have you noticed that? 

It's so noticeable, yet so difficult to describe with words.

The air "sounds" a little different, the whisper of it is a little lighter, brighter and prettier.

The birds chirp a little differently, perhaps they are happier.

The air smells a little different too, light, fresh and floral.

I am still working around the house.

There is a little left to do as we prepare the rooms for the hardwood floors.

They have said it will only take one day to do the two rooms...

I hope so, 

I am not good at having everything out of order.

The yard is filled with "plump" looking Robins, a true sign of spring!

The Storm With No Name

 Saturday was a beautiful day, the sun came out after some morning rain 

and it was 74 degrees.

I spent the afternoon at my nieces, lunch and dying Easter eggs with my great nieces, 

we had so much fun.

I don't have any pictures to prove it, but it was a really good time, we have done this in previous years.

After coming home, we settled in on the couch to watch a movie.

An added tidbit...

I think we have at least 1000 channels on our tv and finding something good to watch is impossible.

All of a sudden, the television went to a tornado warning and our phones started to alarm.

The hubs said we might have to go in the basement, I replied "over my dead body"

too many spiders and cobwebs...I'll die in my clean living room.

We live in Ocean County, 

that was added to the warning a few seconds after this.

Our weatherman was awesome

he gave so many updates that contained a lot of details.

We were not without damage, although it missed the pool cover, 

this large limb came down breaking one of the 4 lights we have around the pool.

It was later confirmed that there were 4 tornados in New Jersey on Saturday.

It was a wild evening in NJ, heavy rain and hail, thunder, lighting and 60+ mph winds in our area.

The winds were much stronger in other parts of New Jersey.
