The last few days have been filled with multitudes of storms. Lynda and I got out of bed at about 1: a.m. When the tornado sirens sounded. There was no damage close-by, but it was still a bit scary.

Family Time in Mena
Lynda and I attended a family gathering in Mena this weekend. Eric Petree invited us along with other relatives and friends to share food and fellowship at his cabin on Rich Moutain.
Eric's grandparents, B.G. And Frances bought a place on the mountain about thirty years ago. They were living in Irving, Texas at the time, but spent as much time as possible at the mountain place. In 2007 they bought a place in Mena and made Arkansas there permanent home.
Eric who was seven when his grandparents bought the Rich Mountain place, built a cabin nearby after he grew up.

What a Difference a Day Can Make
Several years ago I planted a female Possum Haw bush near our back driveway and for the past few years it has had a good display of red berries from let fall until late spring.
One morning last month, as I left to run a few errands, I admired the bush and wondered how long the berries would hang on.
Later that afternoon, when I went out for the local newspaper, I was surprised to see the bush completely naked of berries.
It appears that a flock of hungry birds had devoured the complete crop.
Maybe next year I'll be able to get a photo of the little creatures.

Flowers of May
I like the way spiderworts and the Jerusalem Sage go together. And I really like the fact that they have come back year after year and require little care.
These are some of my favorite irises although the yellow ones are also favorites.
The Homestead verbena is looking better this year than it did last summer.
The money plant flowers make a good showing. Later in the summer the seed pods will look like coins.
Azaleas are the most showy blossoms at this time of the year.
