Haighr, you just have to do what my hub did when it was hailing here and he ran out in it to get the horses off the pasture. He took my deep boil pot and put it over his head for armour!! LOL! Stupid animals though, they wanted to stay out in the hail. Guess the horrible loud noise of the stones pelleting the steel shed was enough to make them want to endure the hardship of teh hails nasty massage!.

When our storm was over we took a drive in the country and you could see a rainbow at one end of the horizon and a pile of hail where the storm had ended and as it laid in the fields between rows of corn. Truly a nasty, but awesome sight of nature. We had some devastation. I had over 5000 mum plants I had started and it was opening day of my greenhouse at the old farm and wham. What a mess! I had fractured mums and mum pots everywhere! Had to close the next day!




Here is a bloom I cannot get enough of and that is coreopsis. It makes a stunning show and is one that I would love to see scores of out on our prairie. The finches and orieles love it!
