Selfies During The Bad Weather

It's been quite a bit warmer this past week, so now our snowdrops are out and blooming.

These snowdrops were coming up, while it was still quite cold, so not flowering here as yet.

Now they are flowering, so pretty and delicate. They are always the first blooming flowers of early spring in our yard.

But all this way too warm weather for early March, brought unstable air masses and severe weather.

Yes, folks, we had terrible weather in the southwest corner of our state, on Friday evening. There were tornadoes, 4 deaths, and lots of injuries, and so many homes and businesses either destroyed or badly damaged. trees and debris everywhere. All this about 30 or so miles to the southwest of us.Too close for comfort. We had buckets of rain such that now we are under a flood watch, and there are new ponds everywhere...until the water soaks back in. Of course any ducks and the like will love the extra space! See, there is always a good side to the bad!

And we know our state was not the only one with tornadoes and wicked weather, so we pray that all affected will be able to find shelter and be able to start over after the cleanups. Our hearts and thoughts are with all affected by the wrath of all this horrible weather.

Anyways, I, Benji, was rather scared of all the noise outside, and came to beg petcretary for some loving scritches. Dalton too was not the happiest of campers either, though since he was outside in hurricane weather when he was rescued all those years ago, he seems unflapped by bad weather, if it isn't right overhead. He just mostly stayed in his bed by petcretary's desk.

Afterwards on Saturday morning, *she* perused the backwoods area and determined nothing big came down in this series of storms. Phew!

So here are our selfies for this week:

Benji, leaning on Petcretary, begging for loving, calming scritches...

Yes, this feels SO good!

Dalton, when he was trying on a new harness, hopefully one that will help against pulling, and one that he cannot slip out of...yup, he did that once with another harness when we were at the pet shop a few months ago...

And why did our peeps have to disturb our beautyrest so early this morning??? Oh, they said something about messing with the clocks happened...Phooey!

We are joined up with all the other Sunday Selfies at The Cat On My Head. Thanks, Kitties Blue for being the bestest of hosts!
