Hail Stones of Blessing

This week has seen a variety of weather patterns. Blue skies with sunshine one day. Rain and hail stones pelting down the next.

In this picture my camera captured droplets of hail as it fell from the sky.

Here I am with my bare naked toes. You can see it accumulating at my feet.

Don't worry. Be happy. This large 'hail stone' is not as it appears. During the summer I had frozen a ice cream bucket of water so that I could cool a large thermos of drinking water for a church picnic we had. Here is what remains of it after days of melting on the grass.

Our picnic table was covered with drops of glass.
Such a pretty yet freak change in the weather.
