This is Gross
We were recently hit with quite the storm, completely out of nowhere on a beautiful hot day.
The storm blew in faster than I could shut the windows. The fierce wind picked up much dirt and covered everything in the house. Gross.
Most of my tall aspen trees couldn’t fight against the wind and uprooted. Ugh.
Then. The hail started.
We didn’t get it as bad as some, causing damage to cars and siding, yet all my flowers are ruined.
Then, as fast as the storm came, the sun was again strong and bright. Of course since it was a beautiful day up until, the girls were in suimsuits and thought it was surreal to play in the ‘snow’ after some melted and the temps were back up.
I just love the look on Katie’s face – complete disgust behind a fake smile. Yep, I’ll have this same look permanently on my face, when winter hits in a couple months.
Ok, that’s enough of that. Brrr. Here’s something better to look at from a couple days ago.
Crazy Alberta weather.
How bizarre the pictures says it all 😉
Have a stormtastic week 😉
yes saw some pictures of the very large hail and the terrible damage it did!
There was an article about it yesterday in the Huffington Post – calling the hail storms in AB a ‘huge catastrophe’! So much damage, yet I consider ourselves lucky it wasn’t worse.
Yikes! I do miss some of the awesome storms Alberta can bring but not that, not the destructive hail (it damaged my car so bad one day when a tornado touched down in Stony Plain back when I lived up there).
YIKES!!
How sad you lost your flowers, storms can do so much damage. Hopefully they will recuperate!!
I guess I’m just getting a head start on Fall-prep of my flower beds. lol
The weather was certainly crazy for you. Hope it gets better soon.
We have the same weather at the moment> Its suppose to be summer here and yet we have a storm. No hail but we have the strong wind and rain. My potted plants are now scattered all over the terrace. #ww
That’s sucky, hope it’s not too bad!
Wow, what a storm! We are in need of rain…not hail, just rain. Best to you!

speaking of – 75% of crops lost too … yeah, it’s not good.
Wow that’s crazy! My daughter wants some “snow” to play with this Summer too!
Ha! The girls had mixed feelings about that – but then, they are so used to snow.
What a nasty storm! I’m glad to have not seen any hail in person yet.
Ugh… that is gross! You can keep the stinky hail storms over there LOL! Honestly though… we haven’t had the best weather this summer.. hopefully it will warm up for the rest of August.
Glad everyone is okay after the storm. We have crazy storm weather here too, but that’s what you get for living in the subtropics 🙂
Wanna trade? lol
Ah, Alberta weather. I remember there were so many hail storms. Sorry about your flowers.
Thank you, much it could have been worse. Just a shame, but oh well. 🙁
Wow! Yes, what crazy weather! They sure did enjoy it though. 🙂 Happy #WW!
Wow, two complete seasons in one day. Your girls sure seem to be enjoying it.
Ha! Yes! Our weather is insane!
Oh my gosh. I hope your plants bounce back!
Thanks Deborah – doubtful but they are fighting to!
That is crazy weather…I though today was odd for Victoria…pouring rain after very hot days but nothing like your weather.
swimsuits with snow!!! haha that’s just awesome!!!
swimsuit and snow? Amaziiing….I might do the same thing :)…cheers et happy WW 🙂
Aw, your girls look super cute! 🙂
Happy Wordless Wednesday!
Ewwwww! What terrible weather. Haha! As a kid, it’s always so exciting to have such extreme weather. Now its just annoying. Hahah!
You can’t say you were out in the snow with your bathing suit on, just any day! Lol
I’m sure the farms got hit pretty hard
HOLY that is insane!!! gotta love our Canadian weather… you never know what your going to get!
Wow! thankfully you didn’t suffer much damage. We’ve been getting crazy weather here too its been dropping the the low 40’s it feels like game of thrones “winter is coming”
That is a heck of a lot of hail! We get all kinds of crazy weather in the KC area. Tornados to a foot of snow. I recently moved back from TX, so I’m in for a long winter I think!

Wow that is some crazy weather. huge hail I heard the size of golf balls.
I have friends that live in Airdaire (spelling) and I think this is the same storm they got hit by. I couldn’t believe the photos! Quite a lot of damage done to their truck too.
