Crazy Kansas Weather

Yesterday afternoon it was hot, muggy and windy

Then it clouded up and then we heard some thunder

We had a nice rain shower for about 10 minutes

The sun came out again - still hot, muggy and windy

When Russ got home - he said it look like it might storm, strange looking sky

It clouded up again and began to rain

then it did this - hail

 "Mama, what is this? I've never seen this before" was London's comment

Yes, it continued to hail

Pieces got larger

and it came down harder

 Not snow

Not rain

It's hail in this picture

 Soon the yard looked like this

It was bouncing all over the place

Thought we might get an eye poked out or something if you didn't watch it

 It continued to grow

(please disregard our toe nails) 

We did paint them last night after I noticed how bad they looked

 Fortunately my flower beds weren't harmed too much

 Picking up some of the larger hail stones - I think the biggest was quarter size

She wanted to keep them so bad

So we now have a cup full in the freezer
