Yesterday was stormy with much of the south under tornado watch.  Public schools and our local college dismissed students at 11.  We skipped the gym, stayed inside to avoid 1.5 inch hail that was in the super cells.  Atlanta airport stopped incoming/outgoing flights during the worst of the storm.  Power was knocked out in some communities but we lucked out with no damage from any of the three rounds of storms that passed through. During the late afternoon we had a break in the weather and at 6:40 I spotted a small tail pointing down from the backside of a hummingbird feeder.  Our first hummingbird had arrived during the miserable wind and rain, two days earlier than last year.  The next couple of days and nights will be cold.  The garden is quite wet which the weeds seems to love.  Today and tomorrow we under a wind advisory but then we're back to normal 70 degree weather. 

Yesterday when we were stuck inside, I made a braised red cabbage recipe, sewed a few items for the farmers market, and read my new cookbook.  Today I'll bake chocolate chip cookies, brew up a new batch of nectar, and maybe wander around Lowe's or Tractor Supply looking for more seeds.
