Wyoming summer

 Rainbows apologize for angry skies. ~Sylvia Voirol

Against the windows the storm comes dashing,
Through tattered foliage the hail tears crashing,
The blue lightning flashes,
The rapid hail clashes...
The thunder is rumbling
And crashing and crumbling...
~James Russell Lowell, "Summer Storm," 1839



I spent July in Wyoming (boy, you talk about weather!)

North east window with AC contraption. Window did not meet with bar and 60 mile an hour winds drove rain through space and sprayed the floor.  Grabbed all the towels I could find!

About an inch of soft hail still shredded all exposed plants.

Since I started this blog, I have had reports that several damaged plants have "come back".  Some plants are just tough and have good root systems.
