magickallight Posted April 3, 2023 Posted April 3, 2023 Here for April - March came in like a lion and went out like a bigger lion. Hoping things settle down for April, but more storms heading our way tomorrow night, so I'm told. So far we have avoided much damage, but many in our area were not so fortunate Friday night. We have a lot of limbs down, but nothing that a chainsaw and spring campfire can't fix. We drove through Alabama and Mississippi on our way home from spring break (after beaching in Orange Beach, AL area for the week). We ended up driving straight through, which we'd never done before, because my 11yo wanted to see our dogs a day earlier. So glad we did, we drove right up route 45 and had plans to stay in Jackson, MI Friday night. It was bad enough that we hit major storms in the southern MO area, we passed a lot of vehicles overturned on the highway. I drive a pretty high profile pickup truck; it was white knuckle all the way home through that. Glad to be home!Here for April - March came in like a lion and went out like a bigger lion.

Kash Posted April 3, 2023 Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Dear April - I just want you to know, March was pretty hard on us. So if you could just spare us all your rain. I’d like to skip straight to the May flowers please. Edited April 4, 2023 by Kash
magickallight Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 I know it doesn't officially start until sunset - but I am more of a morning person - so thought I'd wish everyone a 1

packratfamily Posted April 6, 2023 Posted April 6, 2023 Hello. Checking in for April. Been a wild weather month so far- had a nearby tornado (minimal damage) but spent time in the basement listening to the hail and waiting for the weather radio to say all clear.Best to all of you! 3
jesusluvu Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 Happy Easter Weekend everyone. I am so thankful for the sacrifice made for all of us. 2
stacya Posted April 11, 2023 Posted April 11, 2023 Happy April! Glad to slow down now that my daughter's luge season is over for this year. Team selection comes out on May 1, and we are expecting that Kendall will move up to the next rung, the Candidate Team, which is a year earlier than we thought it might happen. I will need ALL the deals after May 1, lol. 1

bluebear Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 Mulch day today. Home Depot was a week later putting it on sale this year, and only 1 brand is on sale. But that's okay.Last year was our first spring in this house, and we bought all new mulch. About 60 bags, and we still didn't get one small area done. We couldn't do all that again. So we just bought 20 and refreshed the edges and worn parts, and did the neglected flower bed from last year.It looks a lot better, and I am exhausted! 4
BFgrl79 Posted April 16, 2023 Posted April 16, 2023 Flowers are peeking out and that grass is already going crazy! 2
