I blinked and it's Taco Tuesday
Busy, weird and wild weekend here. We had wild weather all weekend from the heatwave earlier in the week. Friday night - actually early Saturday morning - we heard the start of rain and hail. By the time we got up and out to the living room to close the windows that open out, the hail was coming down so hard it was deafening. The hail was bigger than we usually see here - much larger than a marble for sure but not quite golf ball size! It lasted about 10 minutes. Our back yard and the front street were white with about 2 inches deep of hail. All my veggies ( tomatoes & potatoes ) were decimated. There is nothing left of them. My flower pots are coming back, Our soft coverall for all the toys (snowmachines, ATV's and snowblower) was wrecked as well, we had to go buy a new cover, and dh's truck has many dents as well. So he has made a claim to insurance to see if they will cover to get it fixed
So that 10 minutes of hail caused us and many others in our little area here lots of $$$.
We also had tornado warnings
all weekend. It was a typical Alberta weekend. A community about 90 minutes had one go through that area. Lots of damage to crops and buildings in that area. Everyone was safe - so that was good. We had severe thunder storms roll in all weekend. It was super humid - and you could feel the warm and cold roll in and out. We never got the boat out fishing. Dh and boys did get out to a local spot to do some fly fishing, but with all the storm action, they didn't go far.
Last night near the Calgary area there was a storm that went through by the main highway, and drivers had to stop, as baseball size hail was falling and winds. The damage to those vehicles
It hit too fast for the weather chasers & insurance companies to do the " cloud seeding" to help minimize the hail.
Other than that, it was a quiet weekend. I mostly enjoyed it sitting, or puttering around the house. I am hoping to whip up some cinnamon buns tonight to bake off tomorrow morning, as well as make some nanner bread for the week with the overripe bananas.
PF is painful! I have struggled with that as well. It has gotten better the last few years, with better fitting shoes when I'm on my feet for long periods of time, and stretches and just a general knowledge of taking care to help it. I'm glad you found some new trainers to break in for your trip! The countdown is on
Well, I should start the daily paper shuffle, then don my HR hat and go through the paperwork with a new hire. Just one of the many hat I wear.
Have a great day everyone! Enjoy all the warm, or if your in the parks magical moments of the day!
