** Picture of the Day 3 **

Yes, that was all hail; almost like snow! No damage so far we hope. We had the equivalent to your Derechio back in Maryland while our house was up for sale taking down several trees as well as our electricity for almost a week.

WOW...quite a bit...thank goodness it wasn't huge or you'd have had a real mess with your new roof! Having PTS from that Derechio during the month of May! That was one scary situation...worse than Hurricane Beryl! Our electricity was down only 3 days but that was because we're on the same "line" as our local hospital, government buildings and county jail! They had us up and running as fast as they could; surrounding rural areas and some of our city was down a lot longer. Our internet, TV and phone WERE down 5 days but we were so busy cleaning up we didn't miss those services! Which brings me to OUR hail storm from March 2024...another pretty scary situation and so glad yours wasn't as bad! We were actually talking about that storm with our "weather girl" after church this evening during dinner. One of her friends got caught in a pretty bad storm yesterday. She'd messaged Allie with a picture of the cloud, asking her for a prediction since they were driving straight towards the storm. She quickly answered, "TAKE COVER NOW"!

The Caps made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs; so glad we got to see them in Denver!

That's the record-breaker Alex Ovechkin (#8) facing us who recently broke the most goals scored record ever (895) in a career breaking Wayne Gretsky's record.

What an amazing evening for our soccer player ! Loudest applause of the 4 inductees and a standing ovation after her bio was read. Bad weather kept a couple of her teammates away but was awesome seeing family and friends that did make it despite the storms!

Well we did get snow and rain yesterday but the snow melted today Pikes Peak supposedly got a couple feet of snow but the mountain hasn't cleared enough to see it yet. And it's not our latest snow; we had more on May 21, 2019 with 7-9 inches that time.

Another with my new lens; if you look closely you can even see the roof of the Visitor's Center at the top of Pikes Peak.
