Scary Weather Part 2

Today I was sitting in the lab and heard quite the sound. It turns out that we were having a hail storm. It lasted for at least 5 minutes. It was something to see.

It's Hailing!


It is starting to accumulate...

It is coming down harder...

Hmm... it looks like it snowed in June!

The flowers were quite confused.

Scary Weather

Last night, the cloud of doom loomed over my house. I first feared that it was a funnel cloud. Thank goodness it wasn't. However, it was the lowest, darkest cloud I have ever seen! Surprisingly, little to no rain came from the cloud.


At first glance, I thought this was a huge tornado (front door).

Look at that cloud (side of house).

This is looking at it out the back door.

Look how dark this thing was!

Wow!

It finally moved on...

Killdeer

While I was mowing the yard this weekend, I discovered that a Killdeer had built its nest in the back yard. She laid five eggs, and when she was gone, I got a picture of them!

My Birthday!

My labmate and good friend Aimee made my birthday very special. She decorated the lab and made me dirt cake (the flower below)! It was a very nice day and a fun time. THANKS!!!

That weekend, Aimee came over for some food and fun. We played the Wii until the wee hours of the morning... hehe. It was a nice time!
