Wild and wacky weather! This cold snap that came through this weekend was a real thriller for the kids. This big storm swept through with lots of drenching rain and hail. While we were at church it began hailing in earnest. By the time we got home over an hour later we found piles of hail. It must have been coming down in an easterly angle because the piles were all up against the east side of things; the fence, the green bin, the neighbors chimney, my squash...
Last night we'd had a game night at Tiff and Ed's house (and a gaggle of other friends), and we inadvertently left our bag o' games there. John said, "I had the game bag, but then I got the baby instead." Anyway we went there after church to get the games. We waited in the driveway for a bit. While we waited we noticed the large amount of accumulated hail in the crevices of their roof. That's what initially caught our interest and thus a quick hunt for our 0wn piles of hail when we got home. As it turns out, we could have just walked right in to get our games, literally. Their front door had been neglectfully left open the whole time they were at church!
If we had gathered carefully, we probably could have made a miniature snowman! Ah, the things you think of later! After church we got another drenching rain and hail session. Jonah thought it quite funny that the hail seemed to be popping up from the grass, like little bouncing white peas. With the rain mixed in, you couldn't see the hail coming down just dancing in the grass. I hope my new garden plants don't get too chilly!
