: E.J. :



Check out this hail storm we had today, here in Ohio. We were under a Tornado watch all day - and a Severe Thunderstorm warning. We got hail the size of marbles - and someone sent in a photo to our local news studio - he had a golf ball in his right hand and a hail ball in the other. Same size! Glad those didn't come near our place...my car would have been totalled!
Did you all receive any hail? Tornado's? Anything?

Anyone canning this spring? I believe I will be doing Apple Sauce next week. *smiles*
