I arrived home to all the house lights off, and I thought the power was out, but the neighborhood lanterns were on. Hmm.
As I walked in the door my daughters (6 & 8) informed me we were having 'camp out night' in the house and not using any electricity. There are candles everywhere and we setup a small tent IN the house. Using my laptop on batteries, so they approved that.
Might as well play along, in a blink of an eye they will be walking down the aisle. [CRY!!!]

Mine are 9,7 & 7, so I can relate to the wedding anxiety!! They sure grow up too fast!

No hail down here. I wonder if the storm bypassed Ani's house?

I swear to you guys it was hailing in Waxhaw at approximately 4pm today.
Rain barrels are just great. My husband found a really nice one online that looks like a huge terra cotta pot, complete with planter on top. It was pricey, but worth it! DM me if anyone wants the info on it!

Greenish light can be a warning sign of tornado weather - be careful!
