And the heavens opened up...

There was rumbling of thunder in the distance.  A few dark gray clouds.  Nothing out of the ordinary to suggest that the heavens were about to open up and DUMP on us.  Dimple Cheeks and I were potting flowers, C was mowing the back yard so that he could then put up the tent to let it DRY out from camping.  A few big drops, giving us about a 10 second warning, and WHOOSH...it just started pouring.  Then, because it wasn't funny enough to soak those of us who were totally oblivious to the impending deluge... (we left all the flowers out thinking it would be a quick shower and it would pass quickly) pea sized hail was added to make those of us already cold and wet scramble to attempt to save the flowers.  I think God got a good chuckle watching us scramble like we did.  Did we save the flowers?  I think OUR flowers were saved from the brunt of the hail (closest to coverage) however, the flowers I bought today that we were putting into pots look a little more begaggled.  Those were the furthest from the protection of my garage, and, unfortunately...those flowers I purchased for my neighbor to finish out a yard project we are working on for her.  Chris didn't get the tent up to dry it out...which is probably good because I am pretty sure that it would be wetter now than it was.  Ahhh...springtime in the Rockies!
