What the HAIL is going on?!

This morning there was a forcast for "rain", so I scalped the lawn to prepare for overseeding for the winter grass. Which means I mowed up every twig, leaf, and piece of grass on the lawn.

2 hours later, this happened...
and then this happened...
and then this happened...
and then this happened...

and then this happened...
"And the house on the rock stood still"
and the trees too...most of them anyway =)

and then this happened...

and then this happened...
and then our roof had "snow" for the first time ever!
(ok not really but it looks convincing)
and then someone through a grapefruit through our window!
*(p.s. it was God with a piece of hail.)
they were pretty good golf ball sizes
Atleast it's not 106 degrees any more!
In fact it was 64 degrees right when this was happening.
We've turned off the AC for the first time since May!
Parker and his friend Brody got to "play" during all the excitement!

I came *this* close to snuggling with eleanor because Posey was asleep and I was a little scared our roof would cave in.

Ok so maybe i need to clarify... it wasn't a grapefruit, it was the hail that broke the window and the hole was as big as a grapefruit & football combined.
