Day Seventeen 2013

Those white streaks are tiny balls of ice that fell for a few minutes today around lunchtime. Not sleet and certainly not snow. Almost like hail. So much for 1-4 inches of snow. I’m pretty sure all the school kids and teachers enjoyed their ‘snow’ day.

And then the sun appeared late this afternoon. I could almost hear the heavenly angels in chorus, singing Praise the Lord! It was a glorious sight indeed. Looks like a nice weekend ahead, sunshine-wise.

The Beetles. They were all over this hosta earlier in the evening and then we noticed them all clustered on this one leaf right before this huge storm blew through town. Wonder if they knew it was coming?

A mighty storm blew through here this evening with fierce straight line winds that blew this rather large limb out of our silver maple and onto a deck chair. The wind was scary!

We were pelted with hail in all shapes and sizes. Thankfully, nothing fell on the cars and house and the storm came and went pretty quickly. This has been one crazy wild spring!

Day One Hundred Sixty Six 2011

All things being equal, the saying goes, so I guess it's no surprise that after such a gorgeous day yesterday we'd be bombarded with hail and lightning storms today. All day. I'm not sure if it's over yet. At least the plants got a good soaking.

Day One Hundred Seventeen 2011

Drenched!

Got rain? I do. And to spare. The storms over my house were not severe, but the flooding closed the schools early here. Truth be told, nobody should have been outside on a day like today. Except maybe ducks.
