California Boy Has Never Seen Hail

Bruce's second cousin, Jan and her hubby Phil were in town this week.

When Bruce's mom, Judy, called to say she had a spiral ham, we decided to have everyone over for Sunday dinner.

It was nice to get together with them, but the circumstances were sad. Phil's mother passed away and he was in town for the funeral.

I had just finished giving Jan and Phil a tour of the garden -- they were here last year right after we built the raised boxes -- when the rain started coming down.



Phil is a weather junkie, just like Bruce. They were both standing in the garage watching the storm pass through when the hail started. At first, Phil wasn't sure what was going on. He'd never seen hail before.

I took a video of the hail, but after You Tube was finished down sampling it, you can't even see the hail. If you watch this video, just disregard the board that is sticking up on the deck. And, ignore the fact that the cedar table and bench have been cleaned, but not the chairs. Those projects are still on our "to do" list.
