One-A-Day...Almost a baby blanket

Almost there.  

The last corner squares are halfway done, one other to FROG and redo

Then a simple edge - one granny row in the light blue, followed by 1r trebles, 1r htr, and the 1r htr in the navy?

Will see.

One 80% completed baby blanket

The baby is already six days old.

Gauteng Thunder

You know it's spring in Gauteng when darker clouds start to gather during the afternoon and the sky gets a greyish-yellowish tint:

Top - towards the west where the mines are where my man is doing water management (and therefor worried about the pits)
Bottom - Towards the southwest where he was sitting in horrible traffic on the N1!

An even darker cloud, looking like something from  "Independance Day (remember!) moved over. This was at 15h29, and look how dark it got:

The difference 10 minutes makes

And the heavens opened, in buckets.

Streaming down the driveway

Realised we'll need to think about drainage here...

The boys were excited about the hail on the trampoline!

"Look mom, a hail-ball"

Some sad-looking hail-battered flowers

And then the skies were blue again.

You would think we live in Ireland, with all these umbrellas.
