This past winter was the craziest winter I can ever remember!  With the storms, not only in my area, but nationwide.  The tornadoes, floods, any kind of natural disaster you can imagine.  One day it's very warm, 60 or 70 degrees, then the next day it's freezing!  Mother Nature sure seems to be angry with us for some reason. 

This is Memorial Day Weekend and we have been in the 40's a couple of days.  Today is better, it's warming up with occasional windy gusts.  Nice and sunny though.  The past couple of days have been drizzly, cold and miserable.

We really can't complain too much around here.  It seems like we have dodged most of the severe weather.  We did lose power during "Sandy" and it was out for about 4 days.  I have never been so cold in my whole life - bone-chilling cold.  Thank goodness for my son-in-law David who bought a generator after last winter.  They came over and got me and my kitty and let us stay with them until power was restored.

He is really a great guy.  After their power came back on he and their sons took the generator to a friend to let them use until the power was restored.  They were so happy to get some heat and be able to shower.

Hopefully Mother Nature will settle down and the coming winter will be "normal" - LOL, whatever "normal" is......
