I love tornados from a detached distance, and I have a small collection of photos. I added this one to the mix. ---

This thread is making me hungry! Sometime I will share my Russian dressing recipe. It is awesome, you’ll never buy it again! Fantastic on sammiches. Today was pretty warm, and the temp will drop 25 degrees by midnight.:eek: so a high of 87 or so, and tomorrows high will be in the low sixties. I am loving it. 😃 ---

Ooh… I’ve never even seen a tornado, so I’m terribly impressed by all the pics 🙂 Up early to take mouse to mousepital. Fingers crossed that she’s ok, anaesthetic is risky for tiny mouses. It’s a charity vet- they do very cheap pet care for po’ people like what I am, if anyone was wondering why I’m splurging on mouse surgery when I’m freaking out about money… ---

**Nuts** , appendages crossed for l’il mousie. Nobody every wonders why money is spent on critters, it just is. It’s part of being responsible. :waves to **Dotty** : I am at irk, it is irksome. I have the office to myself for most of the day, roomie is out at a research away day taking meeting minutes. I predict she will be very very bored. However, on the bright side, it is Wednesday and that means it’s pub night. Woot! ---

If there is/was any angst about pirated photos, those that I steal go no further than the wallpaper folder on my computer. it may seem minor, but photo rights are a very big side issue on a different board where I hang out. ---

It’s so gloriously cool out this morning!! The house is open to welcome in the low 60s! Probably the last before summer hits with a vengeance, alas… We did get a nice rain yesterday that stopped our pergola work but gave my gardens a drink, so yay for that! Goofy sis arrives tonight with my defiled car and her 3 dogs. It’ll be an interesting evening… Before her arrival, we’ll finish the benches and (I hope) reinforce a few of the major joints on the structure that \*\*FCD \*\*is fretting about. Some general tidying also, tho she’ll never notice - her house is a fright!
