A Freak Spring Hail Storm—-Sunday, May 8, 2016

Early Saturday morning, around 3-or 4, I don’t really remember now.  We had a terrible hail storm

Hail-1It came in swath straight from the south

Hail-2

Tearing through the farm yard and damaging the trees

Hail-3We have little leaves stuck everywhere.

Although, we feel we were lucky because none of the plants set out under freeze covers were damaged, the covers stayed in place…and the corn is not up in the fields.

Saturday-MorningThe sunrise looked like this!  Stunning isn’t it?

Then the rain clouds came back in…only rain clouds.  We are still changing water through all of this rain, mud and cold.  Irrigation doesn’t stop once we start.

Saturday-eveningBy sunset Saturday evening the clouds started parting.  It was glorious!

Today is cold and only partly cloudy.  Once more I’m very thankful the corn isn’t up yet and my covered tomatoes and other things are still doing fine.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!
