yes, @Blue-Jay i have seen some of those variations. :) i'm not growing out VBE that often any more though now but if i see that color/pattern come up i'll save them for you.
yes, i see they've posted that for us now - hard freeze for tonight, and chance of frost for tomorrow night too. we just skirted frost here last night.
once in a while when i get up and if Mom is awake but laying in bed i'll go and jump on her bed and bounce up and down. and then give her a kiss and tell her i love her. she'll fake scream. it's funny. :)
in checking out the small tornado damage and possible path it may have been slightly to the north of us and skirted us or may have even been over us but not formed enough. i'm certainly not an expert in reading radar tornado signatures and how they form...
to us it was a little hail, some rain...
@digitS' and me (or at least that is what i was writing about :) ) are speaking of overwintering them which is different from planting and letting seeds fall in the fall and then having those seeds sprout in the next spring...
there was likely a small tornado not too far from us but i don't think anyone was seriously hurt. damage evaluation on-going. a lot of action from the storms of last night.
