We went out at lunch, until we hit a little bit of rain, and turned it around and hightailed it back. We walked in the building, and about two minutes later, the hail hit. It wasn't big, like marble-sized, but it went on for about forty five minutes.

This was beneath one of the apple trees up the street.

A bit of wind around lunchtime, but no rain or hail on this side of town. I worry about trees this time of year. I think we're past the ice storms but hail is the big concern on those tender new leaves.

And it's hail, or at least the chance for hail,for _months_. My brother has taken to hanging hardware cloth above his tomato plants (container garden on his deck) to prevent anything more than about 6mm from hitting them.

I figure I need to rig the tunnels after I plant out peppers and tomatoes and before Chun Woo and I head to England-- or pause the planting-out.

Ooooooooooh England! I'm envious of your travels.

Yes, we're lucky.But gardening-wise I'm glad we'll be back in Early June.

When there's a bunch of fallen blossoms like that, if it is dry enough, I enjoy scooping up double-handfuls and throwing it in the air like confetti.

I probably should have, but these were definitely not dry enough at this point.

Whoa, we got lucky-- no hail here.

It was narrow little bands. My aunt lives four kilometers away from where I work and had none. Yesterday my brother rode his bike through a band of hail on his way home, that was only three blocks wide.
