Round Two

I try again for the hospital tomorrow morning. Thus far today I haven't received a call complicating the appointment or cancelling it altogether, but the day is young.

Big thunderstorms here last night and this morning, part of the same wave that dropped enormous hail on northern Texas. We had soaking rains, big booming thunder and spectacular lightning, and yes, got hammered by hail also. It sounded like a thousand people on our roof beating it with sledgehammers, so we got up to see if the car was being totalled. To our relief, it was not. We don't have a garage, but our driveway is sheltered somewhat by a large spreading tree that had only dropped its blossoms last week and unfurled its leaves, most of which were carpeting the car. They are now all over the driveway, the lawn, the roof, and the street.
