Lions and Tigers and Thunderstorms - Oh, my!

Yeah, I'm a sucker for a thunderstorm.  Yesterday we had some come through and it's been raining off and on today.  We even had tornado watches last night.  Looking at the weather channel website, about 15 counties were under tornado warnings down in the area of Missouri.  It was funny that I was out on my walk yesterday when the storm finally hit, freaking Eric (who was with me) out 'cuz he's pretty frightened of lightning.  ROFLMAO!!  The close to a foot of snow we got for New Year's is long gone.  Not even the huge piles shoveled and plowed off the roads remain.  It's not time for some new stuff just yet.  I'm enjoying the green grass.  This has been the longest we've seen the green since Thanksgiving.  And with that mud smell that you get in March - wow.  It's wonderful, ain't it?  I'm waiting for Eric to come back from Flint - rain or shine - I'm going out walking, at least 2 miles if I can help it.  I'd rather be out working in this weather than at home inside.  Am I crazy?  What do you think??
