As we waited for the school bus, I put sunscreen on the boys. Which was ridiculous, because by the time the bus got there, huge thunder clouds were rolling in. They were from the far end of the property, which meant we got a good view of them.
Nate, Andy and I sat at the top of the driveway watching the lighting and hearing the thunder, and then I took us inside to get ready for school.
Before we were ready, huge marble-sized hailstones dropped from the sky. For five minutes we were pummeled by ice rocks. I didn't want to take us out. The temperature cooled to 60 degrees.
It was too wet and dark to work in the yard, but by the time the boys were picked up at lunch, it was seventy five and sunny. After nap it was eighty. I left to get Nick and take him to piano class.
At piano class we heard there was a tornado warning for our area. This is very, very unusual for southern New Hampshire. But there were winds, and rain, and the sky was dark again.
By eight pm the sun had mostly set, but there were fewer clouds. No wind. And the air itself was red.
I can safely say this has been odd weather.

Well, Mark Twain did say "If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes."
