It was a normal Tuesday evening. Dashing Boy was making a salad, I was making a fresh strawberry pie. (Ok, I wish the fresh pie was normal for our dinner routine). When just as I finished whipping some cream our power went out and
BOOM! Giant balls of hail came pouring down around our little home.
POURING.
We ran to the windows and watched the storm- eerie, breathtaking and amazing. Literally the street was solid white with hail flying all over the place.
As the storm settled we drove over to our friend's house- who we had planned to get together with- and assessed the damage. It was chaos- branches and trees down all over the place, fireman blocking flooded streets, bewildered people trying to get home on their bicycles.
And me, with my camera, longing to be a journalist and capture it all.

those are huge hail balls. almost as big as my hips! now i can see why molly's garden was destroyed. nothing could survive that kind of deluge. you take great pictures and you write great words. don't give up on your desire to be a journalist. maybe someday you will write a book!
