Keep Calm and Don't Blow Away!

Hey!  It's me!  Really!  Exclamation point!  Never mind I haven't written in over a year.  Details, details…how embarrassing…if I hang my head in shame, will you forgive me?  I hope so. I'm not much for giving excuses, so let's start anew with today's post.

Windy!  Chicago may call itself the windy city, but central Illinois farm land beats it hands down!  I live in the middle of the flat corn and bean fields with my favorite farmer, 2 kitties, and one wonder-doodle.  The great glacier made it through our neck of the woods, but stopped about 8 miles south of us.  There you will find lots of hills and hollers.  Here, not so much.  We live on a high spot and from our yard we can see 20 miles north, east, and west; and probably not as far south, but it's purty darned far just the same.

We have been under a Wind Advisory for the past three days.  Gusts around 45 mph…oh so fun.

I have an awesome green house and I spent yesterday waiting to see it fly away. I guess my favorite handyman hubby secured it well because it is still standing!  We took a road trip yesterday for lunch and the wind was causing problems on the interstate... as well.  We saw a camper/trailer overturned in the median…what a way to start/end your vacation!







The wonder-doodle and I have not been able to go outside to practicee our lessons from Basic Obedience class for fear of blowing away and working on the garden…not gonna happen in that kind of wind! Oh yeah, the freeze warnings…it is spring and we are still getting hard freezes.  Ugh! Go figure!

Well, until next time…which I hope will be in a week or so, toodles!
