We also had a tornado warning! As we arrived at my SIL's house, sirens were blasting. Being New Yorkers, hubster and I first thought of car alarms.
It became dark and windy outside. The guests began to eye the cellar door and a plan was being hatched on what food and drink to grab. But, it passed. No tornado--just a thunderstorm. Soon it was sunny and the tornado became just a good story to tell.
In the evening, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset and moon.

And to make the birthday even more special, the moonflowers bloomed for the first time.

My SIL has a doormat that reminded me of a knitting project I plan to start.

I'm glad you had fun!
The doormat was cute....I know how it is when you're dying to start something new...you see it everywhere!
great pix! welcome back ... buzz .....
I don't think I've ever seen a moonflower. Very pretty. That doormat is a good omen!
I love moonflowers. I had a bush at my last house. The fragrance filled my backyard in the evenings. Don't know why I didn't bring a pod with me to plant here.
Sounds like you and hubster had a great time in Columbus.
