the biggest hugest craziest storm ive ever seen  (Yah you get the picture :)
and the old people out here are saying that too.



So some peoples sidings looked like its been shot at but our siding is fine.  the corn however was beaten flat to the ground.  It looked just awful..........nope i did not get out soon enough for a pic.  Now the corn is growing and looking much better.  Good thing it was still young enough because once it gets past a foot and hailed bad on it aint coming back.


My rhubarb looked like it got beaten up by a bear.  SO i harvested it the morning after and i got a thatsa bowl almost full.  Not the HUGE one but the size under it.. CRAZY


the soil was like concrete after all that sheeted rain and hail  so i borrowed the neighbours rototiller for my garden and..............yup.......................... I fell in love ...................so now i am searching for a good and not so pricey 20 inch rototiller of my own :)


My klompen were full .........................yes full of hail

 


The flooding the next day...................now all the massive puddles are gone ..............pumping water for the third year in a row in the spring and cactuses grow here............................ironic isant it :)


Amber had a field trip and saw a whole lotta birds ..............was pretty neat. 5 days left of school......... YAE

wowzers! That is crazy! Was it your pivots that were wrecked?

Class trips are pretty neat to go on. I'm going to put money on the girlie in the pink/orange white striped sweater holding the rope to be Selb and Anna's. She looks identical to Sharon:)

Wicked hail! Hope the rest of the garden fares better than the rhubarb.
I thought the same thing about the deVries looking girl.

Dad says he can get you a seven foot rototiller. Interested? let him know.
