What a week we all had at Aspermont, the hail hit us about 9:30 in the evening and it was one more hail. It took care of Joe's onions just beat them to the ground, then it got his peach tree, the tomato plants he had set out and the pepper plants. It was horrible, our friends that live in trailer houses said they were scared because it was so large, they couldn't leave because if it got the windows they would need to be there to put something over them, and then it was too late to leave it would have ruined their cars. I told Joe well we still had a house, and west of town it was horrible, the wheat fields were so pretty, and as one rancher told me he didn't even have a weed left in the field much less the wheat was beat into the ground. Joe said 'The onions are ruined, we will just eat them now instead of letting them stay in the ground making heads and eating them this winter. They will have rotten spots in the center because of the hail so they won't be good. My flowers were pretty but they look pretty ragged now, I think Mother's petunias will put out, hopefully because you can't buy those plants like hers, and I couldn't believe the larkspurs were still standing. The primroses looked bad for a few days and they are trying to live, and the rain lilies are just blooming so pretty. I told Joe bless their hearts the rain came and they shot through the dirt and started blooming. We went Friday to Jackson Brothers and Joe is trying again, I don't know about the peaches on the tree, we will just have to wait and see, there are some left but I don't know if the spots will rot or not . He said ,'We will just try again, this time I'm putting something over the top of them, he had cans around all of them, it even took care of my bird feeder in the yard. Joe said, 'Carol I can take care of that I have some screen in the storage shed and I will put a new one in the bottom!!!!
