A rain storm rolled through last night while I was asleep and left us with about a quarter inch of rain. We need all the moisture we can get, we have been running a little dry lately.

Did some cleaning today. Did more cleaning during the weekend then I tend to. Friday Mom will be off work and we have some projects lined up. Not sure how much we will get done before the weekend is done.

Did some yard work yesterday, took out a flower bed and put some plastic boarder around the peonies. Also got some branches off the roof. The rocks we took out of the flower bed will be used in some other project this spring. Will order a small amount of plants from the Michigan Bulb company.

While we were out, we looked for a good area to plant some of the things we will be ordering. Also came up with some good ideas to fix our gutter downspout problem.

Buck Owens has died. I remember watching "Hee Haw" when I was a kid. Yes, I was a weird kid and I grew to be a weird adult. But I am comfortable with that.

Last week we had warm temperatures and rain. This week we have cooler temperatures and snow. It is now Spring, and yet we have snow. I am to young to say "When I was a kid...", but when I was a kid the seasons were more normal than this. Yes we did have the occasional weird weather and all, but you still didn't have the overlapping seasons as much. At least they seemed normal.

Had a migraine yesterday. It was a Monday and it was rainy. You know there is that old Carpenters song about rainy days and Mondays....if it is a rainy day and a Monday does something explode?

Have been having some strange dreams lately. Nothing scary, I don't feel upset by them, they are just strange. One I had last night involved Halloween, yes Halloween. Another involved an airplane. I don't remember any detail, just fleeting images. I do remember that when I was dreaming of Halloween, I was smiling for whatever reason.

Looks like we might be getting a late hit of winter weather. I guess Mother Nature wanted to fling one more storm at us before spring started. We were supposed to get some rain yesterday, but it never showed up. We did get a short, but light, snow yesterday. It didn't last very long, though.

I now own "The Sims 2", bought it yesterday. Sold a vase and made enough to buy it. It will take a bit of time to get used to it, just like with "The Sims:Busting Out".

Took some over the counter allergy meds, stuff with antihistimines (not sure of spelling of it), and had to take a nap. I am still feeling a bit groggy from the stuff. Don't thing I am going to be taking anymore of that stuff.

Had a migraine much of the day. Managed to get a few things done.

Maureen Stapleton and Peter Tomarken (he was the host of "Press Your Luck") have died. Peter died in a plane crash. I liked both of them, my favorite Ms. Stapleton movie is "Airport". Both will be missed.

Wow, what a ride weather wise yesterday was. Four storm blew in and out, we got close to two inches. Over an inch was dumped in just one storm. The first storm came through in the morning, the next two in the afternoon and the last one hit in the evening. Street lights were knocked out, cars were damaged by winds, debris or by hail. Some areas had hail the size of eggs or larger. The largest hail we got was no bigger than a pea. The lighting was probably the best in the even, because it was dark and we could see it best. Not sure if anyone died or is any tornados touched down. I do know there were reports of funnel clouds in the afternoon.

Severe weather in the area the past couple days. Just had heavy thunderstorm roar through, it dumped an inch of rain and some hail, it was in and out within about ten minutes.

Went out this morning to wash the car and do a couple errands before another storm was coming in. We got to the car wash when the window picked up and knocked the power out it rained heavy for a couple minutes. As we headed to Kmart, the rain stopped. The clouds were very dark and the wind gusted strong for a bit. Managed to get the errands done and was back home before anything else happened. It looked like everything was going back to normal before this afternoon storm hit.

The sirens are blaring off and on, there's still some thunder out. Not sure we are out of danger yet.

Dana Reeve, Christopher Reeve's wife, has died from lung cancer. Kirby Puckett, has died after suffering a stroke on Sunday. Sad about both, they were in their forties which is too young to die.

We bought a dryer at Lowes. Looked at some of the other dryers, but bought the one we had picked online. It is supposed to be delivered today.

Saw the movie "Mrs. Henderson Presents" yesterday. It was very good, I had heard nothing about it prior to seeing it.

Finally got some rain yesterday and early this morning. The total was about half an inch. There is more rain in the forecast for the coming week and we need everything we can get. It has been rather dry this year so far.

Yesterday was sort of a bad day, glad it's over.

It is, at this moment, like twenty degrees cooler then it was on Wednesday. Rain has been forecast for the weekend, January was the warmest on record and February was the driest on record.

Have to go and buy a new dryer this weekend. Our old one decided it didn't want to live anymore. We are going to try Lowes first, as a last resort we will go to Sears. We usually go to Sears anyway, at least for appliances, but we wanted to do something different this time.

Last night the power went out, not once but twice. About twenty minutes into the first round, we decided to go out for dinner. I wanted to go somewhere where we could sit and chat, but Mom just wanted to get something to eat at home. But the joke was on her, because when we got back home the power had gone out again. So there we were in the family room, eating take out by candle light. When the power finally came back on again, I told Mom that I hoped it didn't go out again and it didn't.
