And it’s headed our way now.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Lucky duck, you can make ice cream now.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

How far along were your tomatoes? This happened to me a few years ago. Mine were about 3ft or so just starting to set. The hail took them down to almost nothing but stems. I thought I would have to start over. I started looking for replacements even it was getting late to find any, and to late to start my own. In a couple of days they started to show new growth. I ended up having more tomatoes that year than ever.

The plants are three foot tall and have tomatoes up to about tennis ball size. They came out of it better than you would think they would have. I am sure they will be fine. The wind go about 90% of the apples about two weeks ago. So I did not even look at them. Beans have hole through the leaves. Its nothing new here. At least it didn't break any windows. One year I lost nine windows to hail.

It is getting nasty just to the west and headed towards home. I wish I were there to batten down the hatches.
