all hail the...hail?

I had such an exhausting week that I was planning on having a really nice, long sleep-in this morning (yay for Saturdays!). So I wasn't impressed when I was awoken this morning at around 9 am by heavy thunder.

So, as I lay there listening to the rain, it got quiet for a minute and I thought it was over and then it started getting LOUD. Loud enough for me to get out of bed and investigate.

And this is what I found - who heard of hail at 9 in the morning?!?



So...all those pretty tulips I took photos of yesterday? Half of them were totally wiped out by the hail... :(
