Summer Storms

I know it's not officially summer yet, but here in the south, the afternoon storms have started with a vengeance. Yesterday, it got so bad we had dime sized hail. I couldn't open my front door without using all my strength, the wind was that strong. The thunder and lightning were fierce, and the power flickered more than once. It's a good think I wasn't online in one of those private chat rooms or I would have been ticked. I was in the middle of a blog post though, and luckily it was still there when I rebooted the computer. These storms are frequent during the summer, which is good for my garden. It saves me having to drag the hose down there to water it.
