Spring Showers .. and lightning

About midnight I noticed my room light up. Half asleep, it took me a minute to realize it was lightning. I'm surprised to see lightning and rain so early this year. We had such a bad winter I was expecting to see rain held off for a month or so.

So I lay there a minute and all of a sudden I panic thinking "oh no my computer is on and my embroidery machine is plugged in!" I jumped up quick and shut everything down and unplugged them. Last year we had a very close lightning strike and lost 2 computers, a wireless router, and several other electronic items. My computer was lost and it was on 2 surge protectors, that's how close and strong the strike was. I'll be darned if I'm gonna lose my new monster computer and embroidery machine.

My oldest son has a new computer too, even better than mine, so I woke him to have him unplug his stuff too.

We got a little rain last night, it was mostly a light show. We had a really warm weekend so the rain was nice and welcome.

We're going to make the most of the weather when it happens. I need to get the other storage shed emptied because I want to hatch some new chicks and I think we'll get some turkeys this year. I'm also strongly considering getting a goat soon.
