Post of various things

It was the day of strange weather today. First the high humidity and 95 degree morning, then thunderstorm, then hail for an intense five minutes. I didn't get any pictures because it all melted within a few minutes, but the biggest chunks of hail were about 2 inches across. No damage, except to the plants out front. The big potted lily snapped right in half :( I feel for the people who were driving when the storm hit; you couldn't see a thing and the hail was coming down hard.

I got to upload some pictures, so




My very own glass bunny! She actually made it back in March for my birthday but kept forgetting to bring when we'd see each other. It's solid glass and very heavy.

And just because, some pics of stuff I've made lately:




Candied lemons, which look very pretty in the box.


And more squid cookies, which turned into squid ice cream sandwiches.

Squid ice cream sandwiches is a grand idea! I want one 35 minutes ago!

We had a hail storm yesterday. Yeah, what is it with this crazy weather? I'm looking forward to a nice cool day tomorrow...at only 86 degrees.

The hail was such a surprise, since it started out as a fairly tame thunderstorm that suddenly got crazy. Woooo 86 degrees! You may be able to stay outside without melting there.

And everything's more fun when it's shaped like a squid!

aw lil bunny!

those candied lemons look so cute!

I don't think we got any hail here as far as I know...but we definitely couldn't see out our office window for a little while, it was just gray fog haha

I love my lil yellow bunny!

It's weird how localized hail can be. Half an hour later the rain was done and it was bright and sunny again!
