Hail and fare well

 Late on Sunday afternoon, a sudden hailstorm blanketed the garden in white.


Fortunately, the pellets of ice were semi-soft rather than hard little bullets. 
Although they refused to melt for 24 hours, allowing me to take these photos the following morning, they didn't have much effect on the spring bulbs.

Everything seems to have fared well. Snowdrops, daffodils, crocus and even hellebores all withstood the beating without any obvious damage.
