Spring in Texas and a Basic Physics Lesson

 When big pieces of ice fall from the sky…

…stuff gets broken.
Even if it’s covered with several quilts and a tarp.
That’s Mr. Pea’s car. 
So sad that we have four cars and ony three garage bays.
Spring in North Central Texas
My thankfulness for today is in the form of a Hail Resistant Roof.  Best investment ever.
