Aaaahhhh…………Spring!!
I think it is finally safe here in New England to put away the snow shovels and buy a new kitchen doormat!
Winter here seemed to never end, closing in on June, with all the
Cold and rainy days we’ve had I wasn’t assuming anything.
Although I must say that any weather we had in the past season
gives me nothing to complain about in seeing all the devastation that is non-stop through the central part of our great country.
It truly puts life into perspective, all material things can be replaced and loss of life is final. The people from those towns move me to tears. When I see the reports the heroisms it’s awe-inspiring.
It seems to me that the past few years in the world of weather has shown us just how power-less we are to the things we cannot control.
My brothers and their family’s live in California and they need to have emergency kits for their kids sent to school at the start of the year, and have their houses blocked out for having to deal with all the possibility that nature could throw their way.
If you’re like me, and things have been relativity OK, then today make a plan.
My family has put off installing a generator (our house already has a hook-up for one, so what’s our excuse?) or not being able to find a flashlight to locate the dogs in the distance of our back yard (never mind a blackout)
In the month of June, I will shop for a generator; have flashlights in every room (and make my family put the back where the got them)
Have some emergency food and water in the basement and talk, as a group to what our emergency plan will be.
And with that donate (anything you can) to help those who have lost everything that had.
