Oh… Hail NO!

Posted on February 20, 2011 | 2 comments

Sup y’all.  Reporting to you live from the awesomeness of *Seattle!*
Just flew in and after a freekin’ wild and crazy day… but I’m finally here.  Tired, exhausted, but here.

Anyway, just wanted to share really quick a shot of some hail damage from that freak hailstorm that happened not too long ago. This is how I’m feeling right now after a series of unfortunate events from earlier today (long story…) BUT… but… it’s fine. The pitcher, although tattered and torn below, may look like sh*t, but it will grow some new pitchers and will be fine. Sarracenia are tough plants and can take the fire and ice.

It’s been quite a long day for me, so I’ll sign off for now and update y’all in a bit.

Late.

Oh HAIL Yeah!

Posted on February 17, 2011 | 6 comments

Ah, just a quick post before I go to bed tonight; something interesting enough I thought would be worth sharing. We just had a heavy hail storm here, at least, by our standards (after all, it’s the Bay Area, Cali … even frost for me is rare…)

We’ve had some rain lately, but I knew this was something else when the whole house was literally vibrating due to the impact of the hail.  I looked out and saw my deck covered in white. So what did I do? I threw on my ski pants and jacket,  ran outside, and frolicked in the streets a bit. I even did my own HAIL ANGEL. Yeah, the neighbors thought I was nuts, but how many of them can actually say they did a hail angel in front of their house?

And of course, after playing in the ice a bit, I had to check on the plants…. and here they are, a bit icy looking.

Eh, they’ll be fine.
