My hand is bruised and swollen but the bleeding stopped.
A bicyclist caught in the hail had his hand broken from hail hitting it. There was a funnel cloud in the valley, but the baseball to tennis ball to golf ball sized hail and the strength of the wind in town broke windows at the university, all the skylights at WalMart, cars totaled, home and business windows, roofs torn up, trees blown down on buildings and cars, power lines down...
and Mexico and Texas is getting the hurricane.

Back when I was just battling frost and snow, I said the best way to have a garden here is to grow it in a greenhouse. I feel really defeated trying to fool Mother Nature into letting veggies grow outside.

Delphiniums and Foxgloves were just starting to bloom (trashed now).

I think I'll have a Guinness and wait until tomorrow to look at what is left of the garden.
