Yesterday and Today

Hail 01 Wm

 

What a difference a day makes.

This was the scene yesterday afternoon. A dramatic storm for this time of year.

 
 

Hail 02 Wm

 

Thunder and lightening. Hailstones on the wall.

Blossom torn from the trees. New herb plants that I’d just put out, flattened against the soil. The temperature plummeting overnight, almost to zero again.

And yet this is what greets us today:

 
 

Blue sky Wm

 

Lunch outside on the terrace. Real warmth in the sun.

How long will it be before I dare break out the shorts?
