Easter and Crazy Weather!

Our Easter went well. We had a good time out at my boyfriend's granny's farm. The rain stayed away long enough for the Easter egg hunt. Besides a few sprinkles in the day it didn't start raining until much later in the evening. We have plenty of Easter candy left too so I will be eating some chocolate eggs and bunnies in the coming days!

The weather here has been rather interesting the last week or so. Very little sunshine. Lots of clouds. We've had some thunderstorms and tornado warnings in recent days. It's been a daily concern for about 4 or 5 days in a row. Today the weather doesn't look so promising yet there's no rain in the forecast. It's cool and breezy with dark clouds in certain directions. A tiny bit of sunshine tries its best to peek through every now and then. We've certainly had some booming thunderstorms lately. It's so much fun trying to keep 2 pugs calm while the thunder booms so loud that it shakes the windows and the building! Wink-wink! Holding them works the best!

I think Dallas is the first place I've lived where the thunderstorms can be so intense car alarms are going off in parking lots and windows/buildings are shaking. Storms like that may have come around once in a blue moon if ever back in Phoenix. As for Seattle a thunderstorm is actually a rare occurrence. They have cloud cover that produces light rain but thunderstorms are not the norm there.

I remember one time a friend of mine had come to Seattle to visit me. She was driving a car she had rented during her visit and a thunderstorm started. She, being from AZ like me and not used to wet weather, freaked out about driving in the thunderstorm. We had to pull over so I could drive instead. I kept telling her though that Seattle doesn't have a lot of thunderstorms so me driving instead was only going to be a slight improvement. Although with all the wet weather Seattle does have, I was definitely more comfortable in the conditions than she was. And now after living in big D...geesh, stormy weather isn't a big deal at all. But I do admit I don't go out in it unless I really have to.
