However, the birds are busy feeding their demanding young, the newts are swimming, the lilies are flowering along with the roses, the jasmine, the honeysuckle and every other thing desired and undesired. When the sun shines, as it does occasionally, it LOOKS like summer . . .jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-83655579334939405152012-06-07T10:19:28.048-04:002012-06-07T10:19:28.048-04:00There have been some incredible storms lately: wi...There have been some incredible storms lately: wind, rain, flooding, hail.<br /><br />Are locusts far behind? :-) (Actually, that's not funny...)<br /><br />PearlPearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261369905176088917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-26717341316036165022012-06-07T07:55:32.323-04:002012-06-07T07:55:32.323-04:00It was a fast storm as well - the intensity was am...It was a fast storm as well - the intensity was amazing but within about 10 minutes it was clearing up - it was like we just bumped against some thing really big!Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-91632002894690940652012-06-07T07:53:41.481-04:002012-06-07T07:53:41.481-04:00Looks like some kind of tornado went through . . ....Looks like some kind of tornado went through . . . some great pictures . . . enjoyed your bit of levity . . .Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723721131329150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-2605104868826047842012-06-07T07:51:13.532-04:002012-06-07T07:51:13.532-04:00You like a good storm but.......ahhhh...that was a...You like a good storm but.......ahhhh...that was a doozie!

All those trees picture were relatively near each other. Something odd happened there.<br /><br />I got to get me one of those big rain coats so I can be outside with a water proof camera next time. :-)Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-63685576694473961012012-06-07T07:46:53.829-04:002012-06-07T07:46:53.829-04:00ahh, my knitting.

There was a big cell that moved through Ontario yesterday but the worse we got was heavy rain and hail. Of course, guess who was out driving in the freakin' hail?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-65756583233527621302012-06-07T03:39:52.514-04:002012-06-07T03:39:52.514-04:00Considering it's June it should at least be wa...Considering it's June it should at least be warm with a modicum of sun, here in the UK. However, apart from a 10-day heatwave, June is turning into a parody of the rain and low temps. we experienced (also unseasonally)in May.<br /><br />Sitting in the conservatory (sun-room), my favourite place in the house, I can watch the garden and the weather. Yesterday, a light pitter-patter on the glass roof heralded a shower. It didn't last long before it sounded like I had a team of drummers trying to out-do each other on the roof! As I looked out the windows,, beyond the blur of the rain I could see the shrubs and trees being swished back and forth by the wind and wondered how many of my newly planted flowers would survive!<br />Then came the hail - if the rain sounded like a bunch of frenetic percussionists then this was like a troop of soldiers with machine guns!<br /><br />Then - just as suddenly as if someone had hit a celestial 'mute' button it all ceased.<br /><br />Outside a layer of white hailstones had turned everything into a brief scene of winterland. Here and there a timid bird tweeted, as if to say 'Is it all over, yet?'<br /><br />Once again, I was reminded that we are powerless to stand in the way of nature!<br /><br />On another note - how's your knitting going?<br />;-)SueHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394307650434614637noreply@blogger.com
