God threw ice at me

when i first heard the sound
i didn't quite believe my ears
or my eyes either
but when comprehension dawned
i ran helter skelter in an undignified dash
to catch up with the ice-rain

sigh*
my very first hailstorm

i freaked out
until the time the wind blew some huge chunks over my way
then i froze.



ps: not a good pic, but thats the best i could get with the mobile... the grass did look awesome... like someone had dropped a bag of diamonds on a sheet of green velvet... pretty :)

You remind me of my cat experiencing her first hailstorm.

She was laying on the balcony enjoying the sun when it suddenly got dark. First she looked at me, thinking I was throwing things at her, then a million pieces of hail came falling down at once and the poor thing didn't know which way to run so I picked her up and put her under my shirt and brought her into the apartment.
