What flower this be..cold and wet?
The Snowball bush has left me yet? But wait...
Tis not a flower, tis a clod of hail.
And my garden looks all frozen and frail.
The sky was dark, The earth was white.
It was a fearful, awesome sight.
(We had a spring storm move over us yesterday afternoon that just about rearranged the landscape around here. Lightening, thunder and hail rained down on us. It was a purple cell on the weather channel. Quite exciting but, oh, my poor irises and roses.
I think Mother Nature is having a hard time letting go this year. She loves to speak in excesses when she knows that Summer is coming. Like a child that knows how to get attention, she decided to have a tantrum yesterday and let us know that she is still, and always will be, someone who commands respect.
I think this was her last hurrah until next year. Today, the sun shines...
Oh, yes- yesterday's weather was QUITE something, wasn't it? And now today the sun is shining and looking all innocent, as though nothing ever happened.....
ReplyDeleteWow! What a storm! I almost think that Old Man Winter is trying to make a comeback!

Did you write that poem? Quite clever, I must say. We woke to near frosty conditions this morning. A bit odd, but temps warmed to mid 70's by this afternoon. Pushing 90 coming Sunday. Go figure.

Oh noooooo, man is that some hand of hail you have! At first I thought huh is that cotton, lol!
ReplyDeleteLook at that sky!
Ms. Caring I am so glad you post, you keep me up and give me great dinner conversation!
Bad weather here too...everything looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCute poem! I hope your flowers didn't suffer too much. Two peonies opened in my garden today even though we've had cool weather... the sun came out and they got all happy and bloomed!
ReplyDeletea tantrum? I love that, gonna use it here with the next t-storm...which should be in just a few minutes the way those dark clouds are moving.
ReplyDeleteWe've had hail storms and thunderstorms this week. Today it's been so cold and windy. When will spring ever arrive???
ReplyDeleteLove,

Oh dear...you've got yourself quite the hail-ball there. Sigh, we've had a few showers of those ourselves...it is cold-cold-cold and I'm wanting warm-warm-warm!
ReplyDeletePretty snowball bush, though. :-)
p.s. your comment on my earring post today made me snort. :)
Thanks for the wonderful description of the storm - loved it! And the photo, too!
