Tornado safety 101

Living in Midwest made me look and search for some good information about how to be prepare and safe when there's tornado. We have tornado warning last night and the siren went off around 7:30 and last nearly 30 minutes. A tornado warning means that radar or a tornado spotter has sighted a tornado.My kids and I went on the basement just to be safe and wait there until the we don't have the warning anymore.My hubby called us to know if we're ok! and told me that they all went on the tunnel where the tornado shelter in their work. It's really bad weather last night there are few tornado touch down, heavy rains and hails too in other city thank god we don't have those near our place!

We always go to our basement if we have tornado warning here, the lowest level of the house, near the center of the house and away from doors and windows which is safe place in case tornado happen. Of course large enough for everyone to get into easily and comfortably and kids toys, a small fridge for foods,battery-operated radio,a flashlight and comfy blanket.Just stuff we might need in case something happen:)!
We always looking forward for spring but tornado's tend to develop on hot, humid, spring days.With winds that can range from 100-300 mph and a speed on the ground of 10-50 mph, the tornado can quickly destroy a community with little or no warning. It's great that whenever there's a bad weather we can count on the tv news here, they just cut the regular programs and give information about the weather.A local channel give weather advisories, or as detailed as attending a weather spotter’s class sponsored by the local weather service. All evening we only have news on tv so i did not have chance to watch my fav shows but it's fine as long we know what happening outside our home:)!

Anyway have a safe and good Friday!!

plant shopping!

After having a bit colder spring finally we have a temperature 60 above almost everyday now, so i can got a chance to shop for new plants for our yard. We went in lowes and bought some perennials and annual plants. And edging, garden and top soil and some red mulch. We spend more than 100$ for everything, i found some cheaper plant with the colors i want which is really nice size too. I start to put a flower bed around our maple tree in the front yard. It took i hour to do it, it's faster because my daughter is taking a nap and my son is just playing and just watching me doing my planting. He really likes it and keep asking everything about plants. I still have some plant to put around my roses to cover the utility boxes for telephone and cable on the side of front ground. It will great to put my new purple grass and some colorful perennial to cover that area. It will take more hours to do it because it's bit bigger than my flower bed around the tree. But all the effort of doing the planting is really pay off when i see all my flower are blooming with beautiful flowers now it have all my flowering bulbs there with different colors, I plant those 2 years ago and always come out every spring which is really nice. Some houses in our neighborhood have great landscape but they usually hire someone to do it. We are do your self family:) we just like to save money :)!!I just like planting it make me relax and enjoy my nature more! anyway have a great day!!
