road trip cut short…

because:
1. we had hoped our Marty (12yr old dog with recent lymphoma diagnosis) could make one more trip..his increasing symptoms told us otherwise
2. Trip also included one bee sting (me) and I also tripped on some steps, fell and banged my knee
3. Heading home, stuck in traffic due to roadwork and received a weather alert about severe storms due at home
4. Arrived in our driveway where it immediately started to rain and the city tornado sirens started blaring….
(we laughed…)
Photo is wildflowers at Fish Point wildlife area.

@anniesue you are very observant :). I don’t remember the sign from previous visits…must be a Dept.of Natural Resources employee with a sense of humor
