When it rains, it POURS

  Yesterday was very humid and 90 degrees. I knew it was going to rain when I walked outside at 7AM. I just didn't know when. I watered the garden good, early in the day hoping that the plants wouldn't burn. I had other things to do outside, so I started in on getting things done. By the time the junk man got here at noon to haul away my old pick-up, my clothes were soaked with sweat. After he left I got cleaned up and into dry clothes just in time for it to start pouring. How it did come down. Not a passing shower, but 2 hours of downpour. I thought we were getting the worst of it, but I was wrong. North and east of us got the same treatment as we got, plus, they got hail. This hail ranged in size from 1" to almost 3". The news had pictures of these giant hail stones and pictures of the damage. Houses, cars, and trees suffered lots of damage in this latest round of Mother Natures Fury.
  There is an old saying that goes, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." I don't know who ticked Mother Nature off, but I do wish they would stop. There is another old saying,"If Mother ain't happy, nobody is."
