Grandchildren are my greatest joy.

We had a nice rain storm the other evening but it was accompanied by hail. Hosta do not like hail. I am glad the season is almost over. If this had happened in May I would have really felt bad..

God is the only thing that matters.

Sorry for your loss Paul.

Glad it's the end of season. Jeepers, it must have been some storm!!

Thank goodness it is at the end of the season.

Next year they will all be big and beautiful again!

Yeah that slug IS gross. I feel your pain about the hail Paul. I just looked for pics of 2011 hosta after our early summer hail storm. Not a one!
