I've also just received Nella Last's War, which is the wartime diaries of another Englishwoman. I'd drop everything and read Nella right now, if I could.

I wouldn't have been out shopping if it had been active. Very pretty lit up by the sun from behind, though. <br /><br />Oh, yes, such a huge relief that nobody was killed in Hattiesburg. There were, however, 63 injuries. It was a pretty devastating tornado and I think it's a miracle that nobody died. <br /><br />Yes, speaking of Tornado Alley . . . I grew up in the heart of it, actually, in Central Oklahoma You learn to respect tornadoes if you live in Oklahoma. We do go to our "safe room" (the laundry room is the most central room with no mirrors or windows) if there's a tornado warning. No standing around trying to gawk for photos, period. You might be interested to know that Tornado Alley is the part of the country in which the largest number of tornadoes form, but they stay on the ground longer in areas that get the warm Gulf Coast wind mixing with cooler wind from the west or north. We had one in Mississippi with a mile-wide track of 100 miles -- meaning it stayed on the ground for 100 miles -- 2 years ago. You can still see damage on the Natchez Trace and it did major damage to at least one city on the way through (Yazoo City). That was a bad, bad night for a lot of people.

The Japanese are extraordinarily creative, for sure.<br /><br />Thanks. We know people in Hattiesburg so I did a lot of checking in to make sure they were okay before I let out a big breath of relief.

I also love the poster and butterfly. It seems like you have had a lot of unusually beautiful things crop up in your life lately. I am also glad that no one was hurt in the tornado. Those things are wildly dangerous, and freakishly hard to predict. I have a friend whose parents live in Tornado Alley in Oklahoma, and it scares me even thinking about it!!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-15212448636139270342013-02-12T07:07:40.987-06:002013-02-12T07:07:40.987-06:00There are some amazing people out there who see bu...There are some amazing people out there who see butterflies in their carrots....ahhh to think I only see sticks and circles!

LOL It's fun but neither one of us is too great with detail and I am terribly impatient -- probably lazy, too.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-61677013727300604192013-02-12T00:18:06.776-06:002013-02-12T00:18:06.776-06:00Hey Chris!
Isn't that the cutest postcard? I...Hey Chris!<br /><br />Isn't that the cutest postcard? I'm crazy about it. <br /><br />Weather junkies unite! Haha! I like watching the weather, too. LOVE clouds and photos of hurricanes. I used to keep a notebook full of printouts of hurricane photos/images. My favorite was one of Hurricane Floyd -- a colored image in which the hurricane was mostly pink. I had a pink Floyd. Haha.Yes, mother nature is really something. I do go to my safe place during tornado warnings, but not much else will keep me from watching the sky. Thanks!<br /><br />Oh, you must tell me what you think when you read All Woman and Springtime. I was so impressed and it is, truly, a very important topic. Until hadn't even heard of human trafficking until a few years ago and would never have dreamed that it happens in our country. <br /><br />If I gave blame points, you'd get the one for Dash & Lily. That's totally your fault. :)<br /><br />Lundi Gras? LOL I am unfamiliar with this. Monday's the moon's day and Lundi has got to be lunar so I think I get the idea, though. Must be a Mardi Gras thing?

I'm with you on being a weather junkie…to the point where I even love hurricanes which has made people think I'm nuts in the past :p I've been known to fight the idea of evacuating so that I can sit by a window and just watch the weather in total awe…probably not the safest thing, but mother nature can just amaze me sometimes. And that's an incredible shot you got! <br /><br />Just ordered a copy of All Woman and Springtime from Paperback Swap! You'll be getting a point once it arrives :) Sounds like it really is quite the important read :) And you MUST read Dash and Lily's Book of Dares!!! It was SUCH a great book!!!! <br /><br />Happy Lundi Gras to you!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.com
