Hail storm!

A couple of weeks ago, storms were in the area, and the kids and I headed to Target to run a quick errand. When we came home, this is what we found. Apparently, we had missed a major hail storm! I've never seen hail pile up in such large quantities before. It was very localized to our cul-de-sac and a couple of neighboring streets. Our grass was covered with tiny ice pellets, and much of our foliage was shredded.  It was quite surreal to walk around and survey the damage. Fortunately, most of it was just cosmetic, and I'm happy to say that my tomato plants and basil have bounced back nicely. I'm just thankful that my van was safely at Target when it happened!!
