Here's my weather contribution report:
Strange winds and clouds of dust and horrifying news reports about COVID19 has blurred the weather vane, in my Pacific Wonderland location.
Kätzchen has been wearing her mask, a different one each day, and she's been worried daily about her health. In other news, lol, rain and wind and scorching bouts of sunshine were supposed to happen repeatedly this last week, but worse bouts of weather came to pass. Since
Kätzchen is boycotting the holiday weekend and creating her own holiday to celebrate, she is happy to report that the weather is just fine and will one day be even better (she hopes).
