A REAL COLD RAIN

ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE PETRIFIED FOREST WE DROVE THROUGH NAVAJO COUNTY WHERE THE WESTERN TOWNS WERE SETTLED BY THE INDIANS AND THE MORMONS. HOLBROOK IS THE COUNTY SEAT AND HOME TO THE FAMOUS WIG-WAM MOTEL.

THE PROBLEM WITH MORMONS AND INDIANS IS THAT THEY AREN’T REAL BIG ON TAVERNS, SO HOLBROOK, SNOWFLAKE, AND TAYLOR ARE MIGHTY DRY. WE FINALLY FOUND A BAR IN THE BACK OF A MEXICAN JOINT IN SNOWFLAKE.

WHILE DRIVING HOME TO THE MOUNTAIN WE WERE WATCHING THE STORM CLOUDS AHEAD OF US.

WHEN WE GOT BACK TO OUR PARK, WE WERE WONDERING WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE LEAVES ON THE TREES.

 

IT WAS A HAIL STORM.

 

GOOD THING I TOOK THE PHOTOS OF MARY’S FLOWERS LAST WEEK, CAUSE NOW THEY DON’T LOOK SO GOOD. THE NEIGHBORS GARDEN WAS JUST STRIPPED AND POUNDED. GLAD WE WEREN’T HOME AND MISSED THE STORM ALTHOUGH EVERYONE SAID IT WAS AN EXCITING 20 MINUTES.
