The weather this weekend is what dreams are made of, the temperatures in the low 80’s and no rain in sight. The temperatures at night is going to the high 40’s or low 50’s and very nice sleeping weather. I love this time of year with the warm days and cool nights it makes the best time of year to be outside with the low humidity and most excellent temperatures. We still have to throw a little water on the flowers and the tomato plants they are still putting out tomatoes even this late in the year. I love the nice weather here in Nashville and look forward to it staying nice for the rest of the season.

Night with a lion
I know that this sounds like a story but it is true, while Hurricane Ike was approaching Texas a man who has a pet lion, now I know that part sounds like a story, he tried to get his lion to safety and got caught in the hurricane, He found refuge in a church with other people seeking shelter from the storm. They placed the lion in the sanctuary of the church and rode out the storm. When the storm lifted humans and lion were all safe ready to be rescued, I think I could find a better way to seek shelter from a huge storm like Hurricane Ike than to be trapped with a lion in a church. I am just glad the story had a happy ending and everyone including the lion were found safe and sound.
Big storm
We got hit today by one of the weatherman’s pop up thunderstorms. We had a 50% chance of thunderstorms and it rained here for an hour so i guess we got our 50%. This summer has been kind of hit and miss for rain here so this storm was well needed. We are still ahead of last year and it looks like the drought is well over with. It is nice when everything gets green here such a nice change from when I lived in Arizona when everything was a nice dull brown the year round.
Rampage
Mother Nature has been on the rampage of late, between the cyclone in Burma and the earthquake in China. I am sure that those parts of the world are wondering what brought this onslaught upon them. I consider us in the United States very lucky to have the resources to help in the event of a natural disaster. God speed to those affected and I for one hope that Mother Nature takes the rest of the summer off.
Spring storms
It looks like tonight there is a slight chance we will be getting some strong storms, this is the time of year we get slammed with storms. We even got hit with an earthquake today, that is not a normal event here. We are much more likely to be hit with tornadoes or ice storms, these are the two most common events dealing with the weather.
We are much more likely to have the city shut down due to poor driving on the interstate than a natural disaster.
