Hail Storm

Last night we had a hail storm.  We're kinda bummed out.  I asked Josh if he'd rather have a slow death to the garden by flood (like Roger and Sue) or quick (like the hail we had last night).  I'm not sure which is better, but Josh said stuff is starting to pop back.  He thinks most of it will be okay, it's just set back.  Here is what it looked like last night...

Johnny went "Ni Ni" on his puppy.

The hail was over, but it was still raining.

This is the flowerbed right beside the porch.

Nice pile of hail by the door.

Cedar's house and Pump house.

Kinda ironic...A pile of hail fallen off of the Chicken Coop roof with the sun setting the background.

Here is a rainbow and the weird colored storm right after it passed.

Paddock Garden.  I think all of these tomatoes (Early Girl) are gone.

Raspberries...I hope they still fruit.  They were loaded with buds and green berries before the storm.

North Pasture Garden

Only two tomatoes in the Pasture Garden were destroyed and this is one of them.

Here's a pic of the new strawberry bed covered in hail with the rainbow in the back.

Onions in the Paddock Garden

Johnny was about ready to go to bed when the storm hit.  Me and the kids went down to the basement during the short time of destruction.  John then came outside with us to assess the damage.  He thought the hail was "Snowing!"

We got dents in the new steel on the chicken coop.  Thankfully, the vehicles weren't damaged and no windows were broken.

There was a drift in the Northwest corner of the house.  There was still some hail there this morning after we got home from church.

House Garden.  The lettuce and spinach and strawberries were just gorgeous before the storm.  Lettuce and spinach was ready to be picked, and the strawberries were loaded with green berries.

The storm was pinkish after it had passed.

Here is the edge of the storm clouds.
