I love a good wind. I do. But last night was just plain scary.
I knew the Jet Stream was barreling across the ocean, hell-bent on slamming into the states and that it was going to disrupt our pleasant, unseasonable weather, but man…when it got here it was brutal.
Couldn’t sleep because the wind kept smashing through in bands of about 50 mph and sounding like low flying planes. I mean to tell you, it was a frightening night.
Plus the fact that this morning my back yard, my tiny patio, is layered in feet of leaves that I probably won’t be able to get rid of real soon. Windy again today and the leaves are just going to keep chasing each other around – and ending up packed against my back door.
Not such a wind fan this morning.
