Garden Not-Good-at-All-Ness

On Monday, we were hit with a crazy and terrifying storm.  The garden was hit so hard.  I was so sad.  Beside being smashed down and broken, everything looked like it had been sprayed by a shotgun due to the hail.





Corn down

 Not pictured were the butternut squash which were obliterated.
 We tried makeshift fences to keep the corn up.
The Pepper of Hope -  as we were sadly walking down the hill after checking out the damage, Joy came running down saying, "A pepper, a pepper!"  This one little pepper gave us hope that other good things would still come out of the garden.

As sad as I was, I was extremely thankful that we do not live in an age when this would mean starvation for our family.  It's just a little disapointment.  And some things are proving to be pretty resilient.  That story is yet to be told.
