Guess what the weather is like today . . .

It's windy, very very windy AGAIN. I just drove to the kids school and the sidewalks near the school are piled with sand that has blown onto them. On the way home I had to drive around the street sign that blown down and was in the middle of the road. I think I'm done with the wind.

I hate spring!

I know, I know that sounds a little harsh and I really don't hate spring - I like it a lot, it's just that in this area is always so darn windy in the spring. The wind part of spring is what I really don't like. It gets old real fast. Last night I got woken up by banging and clanging and lay wondering what we might be losing over the fence in our backyard. The kids also had a hard time going to sleep. We had to spend a little bit of time explaining to them what all the sounds were that they were hearing. Oh, and by the way, I don't think we lost anything over the fence.

A little windy

Last night was a little windy. In the 8 years we've lived here, it's never been windy enough to move the basketball hoop (full of water) or the picnic table. The basketball hoop was on the opposite side of the patio. We also had our screen door bust (just the screws that hold the springs together) since it got whipped open in the middle of the night. But we lucked out since some of our neighbors have broken fences and stuff. The weather report says gusts on the ridges at 120 miles per hour. Should be better by this afternoon when it starts snowing - oh, no wait, it is already snowing.
