Got home Wednesday to find "glass beads" all over the front flower beds. Looking around, I found more all over the lawn, just not as concentrated as where the roof had funneled them to the front landscaping. Here they are on the back deck...
The hailstorm must have hit and finished very shortly before I got home from work - and I'm sure it freaked the cats out, considering the size of the hail.
This is after I'd been home a short bit and decided to get some pics - plus it had started raining, so there was some thawing by this point.
All in all it's just been a real dreary, murky, rainy week. Many of the streams, rivers, ponds and lakes are flooding around here - luckily we're no where near our backyard pond, which has a drainage system built in for overflow.

Jeph, is that a (broken) bird feeder sitting on your deck or is it a squirrel feeder? ;)
It's not broken. Up til LAST week it was hanging from one of the unfinished posts of the deck - just sort of a temporary place over winter. But the deck guy came out and finished the work (that's a story for another day!), and that involved lopping off the exposed tops of the posts (so no postcaps), and finishing with a board across the top....so now I don't have anywhere to hang that feeder, nor the clementine crate that I was using as a flat-bed feeder. Doesn't seem to bother the chickadees - they keep coming to that feeder on the deck anyhow.
