Random Mid-June Weather

Last Wednesday I battened down the hatches on our deck, moved the cushions into the garage, and protected our pretty hanging basket by transferring it inside. The weather called for severe thunderstorms, possible tornadoes, and high winds. Our outdoor furniture routinely gets blown across the deck due to the winds here, so I wasn't taking any chances.

I took this picture from our front porch a week ago. The rain brought a double rainbow!

The tornado sirens sounded around 12:30 AM, and we headed down the basement, watching the constant lightning flashes and sheets of rain for about an hour before returning to our beds.

Saturday brought a fun festival to a town nearby, but rain threatened to ruin the outing. Thirty minutes of rain preceded twenty minutes of humid heat, then the rain came back, then the temperature dropped...you get the idea.

But Sunday, glorious Sunday--Father's Day--arrived clear and perfect. Mid-seventies, a light breeze, and cotton-ball clouds chugging through the sky. From our deck, my husband and I watched the sun go down, and the weather was so mild and lovely we stayed out there well past dark. Even the mosquitoes left us in peace.

What can I say? It's mid-June in Ohio. We get a little bit of everything weather-wise here!

I'd love to hear what your mid-June weather looks like. Hades-worthy heat? Rain, rain, and more rain? Tornado alerts every five seconds? Please share!

Have a terrific Monday!
