Hail, Brimstones, & Houdini

Ok, no brimstones but tons of hail and pouring rain decimated my flowers today, so it's a good thing I took some pics of them on Thurs. in all of their short-lived glory. Hopefully they'll be able to recover from the drama.

And our little dog Jet found a way to crawl under the patio gate, and had a 15-minute free-for-all running around the neighborhood tagless. Luckily my husband found him right away and he came as soon as he was called, but it was briefly nerve-wracking. Makes me wonder if this is why he was found as a stray with no tags before we adopted him--he may be a tiny Houdini. No more unsupervised patio time for him!
