As if our life this week wasn't nutty enough running R & E around going to Bible School and to swimming lessons, we had a rip-roaring hail storm last night! Tom and I got the girls in bed and decided to stay up late and watch Fool's Gold on our pay-per-view. It was entertaining, but so very silly! ;-)
Anywho, right after it was over, we were checking doors and turning off computer etc., we checked the radar and hail was headed our way! So, our later night turned into a late late night! We moved the girls to our bed away from windows and such. We started with pea sized hail and ended up with tons of large marble sized and golf ball size and eventually some tennis ball sized! I made matters more dramatic in the midst of everything by knocking over the ironing board and making a tremendous crash, we were just sure things were coming through the roof!
Our yard looks like a war zone, Sallie dutifully brought me 2 dead birds to the back door this morning, and I think we are the only people on our street who haven't cleaned up the mess yet! Lazy bums that we are! So, here are the pictures, these Tom picked up after they had been rained on for about 10minutes -- mind you, it isn't wise to run out there while this stuff is still falling..... ;-)
Oh, please excuse the state of my tennis ball for "scale" when you have a golden retriever, your tennis balls look like this!
Oh, and I had to include this last one, you can really see the layers, isn't God cool!?!?
