Haven't seen Sissy on here for a while, come to think of it. Hope all is well with her hubby, thinking last time she was on here she had to take him for more tests.
Rainy drizzly day here, off and on, but nice cool temps, only in the low 70's again. This weekend, for Father's Day, supposed to be perfect! 82 and sunny Sat. and 90 and mostly sunny on Sunday! Great day to be out on the lake on a boat or fishing. Well, I'll be home playing in my ponds, so that's second best. LOL My dad passed away 11 years ago, my son does not have any children yet, daughter is getting married on July 1, so maybe next year I can celebrate Father's Day with someone. Will get lots done this weekend, though, in the sunshine and heat!
Colleen, we call those "bag worms" around here. I get where you call them tent caterpillars, because they make a web that looks like a tent. Sadly, when they do that on trees, they often damage the trees greatly, sometimes killing them. I looked them up, seems they morph into a moth. I would hate it to have them hanging out and dropping their poop into my ponds. Hoping they get done with their frenzy soon, and move on but sounds like they are doing that! Pretty sure I don't want any of them mailed to me to sell in kits, but thanks! LOL

I've been wondering about Sissy too. Hope everything is ok with her.

90 and humid today, but the real story is last night.

We had some pretty bad storms come through the state. 4 tornadoes touched down, none around here, but we had 50mph winds, power went out, heavy downpours, lightning, thunder. It actually destroyed half of my Coreopsis plants. I'm not sure if it was the heavy rain or winds that did it. Sadly, some homes in Western Wisconsin were destroyed. Crazy stuff, and we're supposed to get even more tonight.

Scary JB and glad you made it through but sad you lost some of your plants. You didn't lose your house like the others did. That would be horrible. I saw those double tornado's too on the news last night. Very freaky!
Hang on again tonight JB and hope all goes well for ya.

Well all I can say is it is raining, and we are preparing for some flood that could be worse than last year, that is what I heard.... Shoot me now, I can not take any more floods!!!
