We are in Gulf Shores at the start of our vacation and under a Tropical Storm warning. Who would have thought? I love storms and have often said that I would love to be in a hurricane. All I can say is, be careful what you wish for.

Hail storm
I enjoy a good thunderstorm. We don't seem to get them like we used to in years past.
Last night it started to thunder so I went out to the porch off of Bill's shed to read and enjoy the incoming storm. Little did I know what I had gotten in too.
The rain started and then we got pea to marble sized hail. The hail on the metal roof was deafening! Then came some wild wind! For a split second, I was actually a bit worried. That quickly ended and I was grinning like a kid. :) The porch ended up being no shelter from the driving rain, and I was soaked.
The fascia was peeled off of the neighbor's house, a trampoline blown over a fence into another yard, patio tables and basketball hoops blown over, trees down, and shredded foliage.
An exciting night!

They're back...
I have started to see the first Japanese beetles of the year this week. I really wouldn't be upset if they didn't come to visit. I must say that I like them best when I find them drowned in the pool skimmer. Harsh,I know, but true.
