It sounds like you have had mostly wonderful experiences there and enjoy the variety in your life. Where we live in Colorado our weather is very changeable but mostly mild. We have a "code red" service that will call our house and cell phones if the National Weather Service forecasts hail, severe thunderstorms or rare tornadoes. It helps to have that warning to take cover.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-85932992133291323572018-04-09T15:18:18.982-07:002018-04-09T15:18:18.982-07:00I was shocked at the price of the one with solar s...I was shocked at the price of the one with solar sensors.
