Hail and Peas

This morning around 6am Margo and I awoke to a thunderstorm and what sounded like firecrackers going off. As you can probably guess from the title of this post, it was not firecrackers but hail. We ran downstairs and outside and pulled the truck under the carport. Like true country folk we don't normally park under the carport, that is where all our junk is. We decide to put the truck under there because we only have liability insurance on it so if it got destroyed by hail we would have to pay for it out of our pocket, whereas the CRV has full coverage so insurance will pay to fix it. Anyway, it hailed for several minutes and it was pretty good sized hail. It put some pretty good dings in the CRV. Here are some pics of the hail.





And this is not really related but I thought I would tell you the garden is doing really well. The hail did damage it a little but not to bad. We have been picking sugar snap peas like crazy. I only planted half as many this year because we had way to many last year and there is no good way to keep them for a long time so we only eat them fresh. I don't know if all this rain has done it or not, but they are growing amazingly well this year. We are getting way more than we could ever eat. Here is a picture of what I picked just today. I will try to post some pics of the garden in the next few days.
