Stormy weather

Good golly, we have had strange weather this week.  Huge downpour last Thursday, and again on Sunday.    Sunday was my granddaughters baby shower, which had been planned as a garden event.

Just after serving lunch, it started to sprinkle. 30 minutes later it was pouring.  Then thunder, hail storm, pouring rain, flooded streets, a real mess.  We were all inside crammed together but enjoying the day.     We will never forget this party.

 My friend Ruth's shed was hit by lightning.  It wasonly about 10 feet from house and thats the corner if the house she was in.  Neighbors all shaken from the sound of impact.    Scary stuff. 

Hail so thick at Lincoln center it remained piled on ground for two days.    Hey. This is California.  This is not our kind of weather.
