Weather Spotter

I don't have enough to do. So I signed up with the National Weather Service to be a Weather Spotter. We had an informational meeting tonight.

I have to laugh as I read that first sentence. I have WAY too many things to do. Today I led prayer for the town for National Day of Prayer. I also yesterday made a new Facebook page for our church, and set up an email contact system for our church as well as updated our church's website. I also volunteered at the thrift store in town.

We are remodeling a room in our home. I think I've mentioned this. But the new wrinkle, the contractor/handyman quit. Ha! And the kicker? He said, "Well, you don't really need that room anyway." Well, pardon me. Yes, I do. My dresser is in the dining room. My husband's office is in the dining room. The cedar chest is in the dining room. The only other closet for some of our clothes is not in existence, so my clothes are all over the house. Annoyance beyond belief. So we are doing the rest of this on our own.

I am getting ready to start the garden again. The weather is finally warming up. Tomorrow we start our volunteering for the museum again. Every Friday til the end of September.

So, yes, now I will be watching the weather in addition to my many other jobs. Tightly packed isobars and wall clouds and anvil clouds and cumulonimbus clouds and hail and flash floods and all that fun weather stuff.

Hurrah!
