spring storms

No those aren't blossoms fallen amongst my pretty spring blooms.

That would be hail.

We had another crazy spring storm this afternoon, with wind, lightening, thunder, rain and everyone's favorite: hail. The kids and I just love to watch the sky turn black and the wind pick up and then hear that hail pounding away on the roof. All while we are safely watching from the window.

I particularly like how the hail poured down the rain gutter and made this nice slush pile. Perfect for snowballs.
