Not to mention that one day I went out to water only to find that someone had dug up and stolen one of my incrediball hydrangeas from the side of my porch!!! who does that?!?!? I am now in the &quot;there&#39;s always next year&quot; mindset... <br /><br />BTW - I LOVE your house!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869671739598945673.post-83163120352906070452012-08-09T08:29:59.188-04:002012-08-09T08:29:59.188-04:00Sarah I know you are heart broken! I work so hard in my yard (even 37 weeks pregnant!) and can only imagine the heart break if that were to happen!! I live in Georgia though so I have to water my plants and lawn 24/7 to make sure they don&#39;t die! Hail is something I would never seen in August! lol I hope they recover easily and quickly! I am sure the hydragenas will pop back easily as they always do!<br /><br />Meggie<br /><br />P.S.- Cooper is the cutest! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869671739598945673.post-47173365746674802862012-08-08T23:49:13.351-04:002012-08-08T23:49:13.351-04:00Oh, Sarah! I gasped when I saw your photos! How devastating. I know exactly how you feel because I drove home to find that same carnage awaiting me after a hailstorm late spring/early summer two years in a row. My Siberian Irises were just destroyed. I had shown pictures of your beautiful garden and window box to my Mom and showed her today&#39;s pictures as well. I know they&#39;re &#39;just flowers&#39; but we take such pride in the way the outside of our house reflects the people who live there. I hope you&#39;re able to salvage some of your hard work.Claire @ a little something in the meantime . . .http://www.blogger.com/profile/08440971588327414093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869671739598945673.post-45076383951944733242012-08-08T23:22:33.262-04:002012-08-08T23:22:33.262-04:00Oh Sarah, SO sorry. We all feel your disappointment. I hope your car is OK-we had two cars get totaled years ago back in Indiana due to hail.

We live in Ottawa and about 3 weeks ago parts of our beautiful city was hit hard. Our car suffered over $9,000.00 of damage. It was incredible to see 80% of the car commpletely dented from the hail and it even cracked the windshield in 3 places. It gave me a whole new perspective of the power that Mother Nature possesses.

Unfortunately, I have to say: I know how it feels.... but that&#39;s no help for you of course. Luckily, nature does recover eventually. Lots of patience is a good thing to have when you&#39;re gardener, believe me, I know. I&#39;ve often thought of just giving up and let it all be, but I keep starting over and over and making plans and more plans. You&#39;ll see, you&#39;ll do just the same. Don&#39;t let that awful hail get the better of you.<br />Bye,<br />Marianflowersandhomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02262453899981838266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869671739598945673.post-39295926275695444592012-08-08T19:52:15.353-04:002012-08-08T19:52:15.353-04:00Oh my heart just broke for you...Courtney*Cakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16333711333485101582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869671739598945673.post-39870335834464350982012-08-08T19:46:03.898-04:002012-08-08T19:46:03.898-04:00Oh Sarah, that is a total bummer!

How disappointing for you!<br />Where in Canada are you that you would get hail like that? I&#39;m in London and we haven&#39;t had any storms watches or warnings for at least two weeks.<br />Maybe you could cut some of your hydrangeas to dry to remember how great they were.<br />Take care and I&#39;ll be thinking of you and your garden,<br />CathyCathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869671739598945673.post-45766396525379439802012-08-08T18:20:11.256-04:002012-08-08T18:20:11.256-04:00It is sad. When we had the bad storms here the end of June we all lost trees. Not only was that a mess there aer sticks everywhere. I don&#39;t even know where to start. There are trees still down in many yards. Then it was so stinkin hot that everything has dried up.
