As we’re laying in bed watching the end of the race, it thunders a few times and then the rain starts.  Except this didn’t sound like any old rain, this rain sounded like it was about to come through the roof!  I knew it had to be hail. I looked outside and sure enough, the driveway was white.  There were boxes flying, garbage cans rolling, tricycles in the middle of the road, and to get out the door to move the bikes under the shelter I had to push the door through the pile of hail that had accumulated directly in front of my door.

Crazy weather we’re having!

At lunchtime, I sent Isak out to go get Anja from her friends’ house.  She came home and rang the doorbell - she will never come in the house without ringing the doorbell first.  I opened the door to tell her that I am not her butler and she can let herself in, but she said, “But I caught a frog!”

Typical Anja, wearing her pretty little dress and pearls and catching frogs.
