Last night was geting there..we had our TV news break in with an severe storm alert, an fast building storm..take shelter indoors immediately..we seldom have this kind of stuff out here. First time I can ever remeber in my 60 years an storm up from the south, splits off in eastern Oregon, develops an storm cell of its own heads to the coast, stops there comes back inland and curls around Mt. Hood for Portland. before going north...did essentially an complete "in-land" hurricane type thing. WE had "radar" weather bands in viole, red and orange. I was "OK" here but an teenager in north Porltand was hit by lightening, and an tree went over an car there near an masssve shopping center, another bolt went into an house, and it flooded down in Salem (state capital) to the top of car windows, an funnel cloud was spotted in Albany ( southern Oregon) and numerous trees all over the place uprooted, the McMinville Airport reported an wind gust of 71 MPH. So it was an wild night last night around here.It's an steady rain out there now and my legs are bothering me, my ears are ringing, and feel like I didn't sleep half the night as the boys were out here in the livingroom sleeping...I took the recliner. The cloud that came over our house was so bluish-black an ominious it scared you just looking at it. But for the most part it's over, and tomarrow is the Grand Floral Rose Parade, an nationally televised Parade. so the streets are clean of the chemtrailing, and 9 ships came in the day before yesterday..and the carnival is running, and it looks like this we are ready to resume, as it's all over with Sunday...except for thre Air Balloon Festival and I have not heard if they are having it this year or not. Drip, Drip..soggy soggy.

Nice story babs, I've raised rabbits, they are new born about the size of this little guys ear, and stark naked..no hair. I hope she feeds it some peaches and cream oatmeal,  like I did our little one's they really "grow" quite plump on it.

Yes, my sister used to breed rabbits, I can remember what they looked like. Cute but not as cute as a new born guinea pig which amazingly have fur and walk as soon as they are born. Oh and they eat straight away too!
