Walked out onto the deck this morning, and immediately said to myself "tornado weather".

Sure enough, came back into the house and there's a tornado watch until 900pm for upstate NY.

We've had one tornado locally this year, and now a watch.

Relatively unusual for my part of the world.

I can't wait for this heat and humidity to break.

I have already cut down 9 or 10.

I just went outside and a huge hemlock limb fell, luckily it fell away from the garage. I had to get the chain saw and cut it up into 4 or 5 pieces.

The black ants get into the white pine and kill them, but it was a hemlock branch that just fell.

Do not ever plant bug infested pine trees around your house.

It’s an age perk.

How many times I’ve looked up in the sky in the winter and said to myself, “Damn, those look like snow clouds.” And sure enough …

Watch is still on until 9:00 pm. I guess there was a tornado spotted in Honoye, NY. Sun is coming back out.

Never remember there being as many tornado warnings as we've had the last few years. There was a tornado touchdown in 1972 close to where I live that tore through a trailer park. It was a remnant of Hurricane Agnes. Had been nothing since until the past couple of years.

My knees let me know what is going on. My husband has hips that do better than forecasters. Hope all are safe in your area.
