I went to the farm after work yesterday to help feed the animals and snapped this picture with my Blackberry phone while taking a small "sit-down" in the barnyard. I was enjoying what started out as a nice strong breeze. Admittedly, the lighting was a little weird and was sliding into that color that I call Thunderstorm Orange. It made for a pretty photo, even though my phone doesn't do too great a job, but the weather got increasingly worse over the next little while. We fed the horses as the wind picked up, and the temperature plummeted to below 50 degrees right before it started to HAIL!!! Dad got wonked in the face with a piece of hail and we all high-tailed it up under the new porch on the barn to be stranded for a while. We watched the trees sway spastically and listened to the loud crack of hailstones and rain hitting the tin roof while the wind tried to push us back out from under the shelter. Amazingly, it was over as fast as it started - leaving it dark snarky clouds on one side and glorious red orange sunset on the other. Beautiful, but funny (in a weird way).
