2011 has certainly been a destructive weather year around the globe. Last night tornadoes touched down on the West coast in California and the East coast in Massachusetts. Neither of those states has had a tornado in recent memory. While folks were scurrying on the coasts, more tornadoes were spotted in the center of the country in Kansas. The Mississippi River, which runs the length of the US from Minnesota to Louisiana and into the Gulf of Mexico has flooded its' banks into 11 states, some tragically. And with all this wind and water, Charleen and I can't get a drop of rain.

Today the forecast is for sun and a high temperature of 100F. (38C) and will remain in the high 30'sC for the next week to 10 days. Our official first day of Summer is not until June 21. Something tells me Mother Nature is still not very happy.

Elaine, your Emperor would look right at home in the Chinese Garden in Sydney.
