Baseball-Sized?!
Today was a gorgeous sweltery day – tough to work in but terrific for growing stuff. Tonight is an endless light show as we are waiting for a rough storm to move in from the west. No rain or wind yet, but the lightning high in the clouds is spectacular. We ran around all afternoon harvesting every delicate vegetable out of the gardens as we’ve been warned since noon about thunderstorms and tornados tonight, as well as baseball-sized hail. What? Yup. I can’t imagine what that might be like, but we fear for our crops, animals, cars and computers. The cars are inside, the computers are unplugged, the animals are for the most part in shelters and the crops in the fields will have to hang on as best they can. (Oh, my precious 4-foot peas, be stong!) I’m finding it pretty hard to get to sleep with all the uncertainty of what tonight will bring, but Shannon snoring here beside me is a nice calming influence.
