I think this year is going to be a bad one.
.
Very bad hail storm last night. The garden looks like a chopped salad bar. Areas in the yard still had accumulated hail this morning.

ReplyDeletewatched some news stuff that showed up on weather channel about storms through your area
'chopped salad bar' ?
so throw a party for the starving rabbits at your rabbit hutch
It'll be locusts next....
ReplyDeleteWow, your hosta does look like salad! The storm seemed to be all around us, but surprisingly, we got little rain and just a few pieces of pea-sized hail. Skies looked awful to the north, which was the direction my MIL was driving when she left to head back home to northern WI...just as I heard some of the tornado sirens going off in Mpls!
ReplyDeleteThe photo is from the web - but they do look like this.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty much straight east of you and we just got rain and sirens.
ReplyDeletehmmm .... it is still early in the season ... more blooms to come ... but this came to mind ...
ReplyDeleteThe Hail-Storm (from the Norse)
"When form our ships we bounded,
I heard, with fear astounded,
The storm of Thorgerd's waking,
From Northern vapours breaking;
With flinty masses blended,
Gigantic hail descended,
And thick and fiercely rattled
Against us there embattled.
To aid the hostile maces,
It drifted in our faces;
It drifted, dealing slaughter,
And blood ran out like water—"
—George Borrow
from Romantic Ballads translated form Danish
Jarrold and Sons, 1913
