Year 5, Day 17, “Living the Dream”. Saturday, 5/17/2025. The Wellington – Yesterday evening we picked up the Plate Compactor. It is really heavy and took three guys to load it into the truck.
Getting it off the truck took the mini excavator and some chains. Look at this Steve needs a step ladder to get into the bed of the truck – haha
In the evening Governor Beshear declared a state of emergency and tornadoes were expected in Kentucky. Looking at the weather report we saw hail was expected also. We decided to clear the garage for the truck. It just fits in.
So she sat safe in the garage all night as the storms and code red notifications kept coming.
Steve turned his phone off because he couldn’t stand the sounds of the code red notifications. We stayed in bed and basically ignored it. We have had so many cry wolf notifications in the past where we ran for shelter. We decided there was no reason to get out of bed this time. This morning we found out that tornadoes had ripped through 55 miles starting 10 miles away from us. In fact yesterday morning, I had met friends for coffee right there. Okay, next code red I am getting out of bed and going where I am not sure. We need a storm shelter in the ground I am thinking.
The third bedroom is painted and the balcony floor is stained.
Super windy day with no internet due to storm. At least we have electric and a house standing. Some work had to be done on the driveway due to the tremendous rain last night.
Beautiful day today though. Look at this video. The worms are back. The land is coming back.
Julianna and Jamie are headed to the father daughter dance. So beautiful and heartwarming to see these photos.
Things to ponder today! Have to leave you thinking.
Here’s a link to today’s Amazon recommendation: https://amzn.to/3HfnS0U Bag of white cotton rags: We always have a bag of these around for painting, staining, cleaning, dusting, plumbing, etc. The handle in the bag is great. We even wash them to use again and again.
