Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while. ~Kin Hubbard

we are having a sand storm

The Sun

The wind shows us how close to the edge we are.  ~Joan Didion


A lot of trees are damaged


Spooky wild and gusty; swirling dervishes of rattling leaves race by, fleeing the windflung deadwood that cracks and thumps behind.  ~Dave Beard


The vegetable garden is just about covered with sand it was like a sand blaster



But at least there is no scaffolding and the house is finished nearly


Hum for a Blustery Day

From:  Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day
Written by: Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman
Performed by: Sterling Holloway [Pooh]

Hum dum dum ditty dum
Hum dum dum
Oh the wind is lashing lustily
And the trees are thrashing thrustily
And the leaves are rustling gustily
So it's rather safe to say
That it seems that it may turn out to be
It feels that it will undoubtedly
It looks like a rather blustery day, today
It sounds that it may turn out to be
Feels that it will undoubtedly
Looks like a rather blustery day today

  1. Regret damage you've had from wind and sand! Your home is looking very fine...thank goodness scaffolding was gone! Enjoyed the poems...especially Winnie the Pooh, who is a favorite of mine!
