Wednesday Farm Photo: Hail, Hail

handful of hail - Farmgirl Fare
The weird weather's here!

We often have large hail predicted during warm weather thunderstorms, but it usually never materializes. Today it did, starting out small and quickly increasing in size. I've never seen hail this big before—and look at those spikes. Very cool.

  2. I hope your garden survived! We're having "feels like" 123F right now, so the boys were thinking the hail would be a good idea :) Even so, we keep hearing about all loss in your part of the world; we're hoping you and all the critters are safe and sound.

  3. Wow, that’s some strangely shaped hail and big enough to hurt if you are standing in it. Run, run for the hills.

    no, wait, that’s not right !~!

  7. Hey. Just wondering if you happen to know any other farmers or bloggers in Western North Carolina, or North Eastern Georgia?

  9. Glad to hear you're safe, as I know there were a few tornadoes in southern Missouri again yesterday. There were a few up by us near the Columbia area, and even baseball sized hail in metro St. Louis! Almost makes me look forward to the 90 degree temperatures and 100% humidity of June and July.

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions.
