Stormy NIght and Moths

 We had a very stormy Friday night, the phones went off with Tornado warnings.  It blew and rained really hard, we got about 1 1/2 inches of rain, actually my rain gauge said 2 inches of rain but my brothers say we didn't get that much and my gauge is faulty ( It probably comes off the roof somewhat) 

We have leaves and twigs in the yard, my brothers both had trees that blew down.  

Most of the twigs will get chopped up by the lawn mower.  I picked up some of the larger branches. 

We had some interesting moths. 


A female Automeris IO Moth...she probably laid all her eggs and came to the wreath outside our door to die.  They only live a couple of weeks.

We had a bunch of these white moths...I killed most of them...this is the only one that escaped ...then I found out that white moths are a sign of good luck. 


I think it may be a Virginia Tiger Moth but I am not certain. 

After the storms our weather turned cool again.   It may have gotten up to 70 F yesterday...it was delightfully cool and windy.
