It missed us

The tornado.  The ones that hit Springfield, MA and surrounding areas have been all over the news and, for those who don't know, we aren't that far from there.  I had a few tense moments when the sky here was really, really black and the wind was picking up but, thankfully, we were spared.  I wasn't sure what I would do, being in the trailer as we wait for the house to be built - I didn't have a really good place to go.  The best I could figure on was the garage, but wasn't even sure I could wrangle all the dogs in time to get us all under cover.  Thankfully I didn't have to find out.  Sadly, quite a few folks in the area have lost their homes and, some, their lives.  Please pray for them.  We did get quite a bit of rain but it doesn't seem to have been heavy enough to hurt the garden.  Unfortunately, the invisible dog that ran through did.  I say invisible because only the prints remain.... in my rows of carrots, in the beets, in the squash, and in the corn.  Sigh.  However, if that's the worst of my troubles today then I am grateful.
