Hail

Well, that was an interesting day.

I was out this morning in shirtsleeves doing a little yard work. It was cool, but not remarkably so, sunny, but not hot. Then, this afternoon we were just headed out the door to do some errands when this started:

I'd never seen hail like this. I've seen bigger hail, but nothing prolonged like this was. It continued for a good ten minutes. I had to brave the hailstones and rescue some new sprouts I had in pots.

Crazy. I had planned to go kayaking after lunch. Instead, I decided to go out with the rest of the family to pick up a few things we'll need this week. I'm glad I did. I'd hate to have been caught out on the river in this!
