After
having so much Rain over the last few days we were ready for a
change and it started right before we went to bed. The Wind
started blowing just enough that the Slide Toppers were
rattling making us aware that it was there.

| The Flags are pointing to the South. Love the Blue Sky. |
When
I came downstairs this morning around 7:00 the Sun was shining
and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky but when you looked in the
direction of Ken’s Flags you knew the wind was blowing. That
may sound weird but that happens a lot in this area during the
winter.

By
the time Kathy came downstairs the Wind had increased to the
point that it was once again rattling our Slide Toppers so
rather then rushing to do nothing outside we were enjoying our second
cup at the Computers when we had a knock on our door. It was
our neighbour Ken asking if that was our Fresh Water Barrel
that the Wind had blown into the Wash on the other side
of the road Two Hundred Feet away. A quick glance was all it
took to verify it was our Barrel. The Winds had changed
direction and thought it would rearrange things for us including a
couple of Chairs and the Cover on our Generator.
Even though I had my Work Sweater on I felt chilled to the
bone after being outside for only a short time.
Kathy
made Sandwiches with the Leftover Pork Roast and added
the Broccoli Salad that we had picked up at Coyote
Fresh Foods yesterday for our lunch. We also had a couple
of personal sized Fruit Pies as a dessert.
I
sent a Message to the Amazon
Vendor that is shipping the new Power Meter for our
Wind Generator informing them that Quiet
Times will not be accepting any packages after 4:00 on the
29th of March so if there is any kind of
delay will they forward it to my Mailing Address in Windsor.
Now I have to wait for a response.
The
wind was only gusting to 30 MPH this afternoon but that’s
enough to worry Kathy. With no plans to go anywhere and our Battery
Capacity Meter indicating that our Batteries were Fully
Charged we decided to watch a movie. Getting movies at different
outlets for Five Dollars or less we have a variety of movies
ranging from recently released to older releases. We watched “Into
the Storm” which is about storm chasers filming Tornadoes
and helping to save people in a community that was being hit by the
storm.
When
that was over the Wind was still rattling our Slide
Toppers, the Batteries were still Fully Charged and
it was only 3:00 in the afternoon. We watched another movie called “A
Dangerous Place” about Martial Arts. It was nearly 5:00
when it ended.
Since
our activity level was low today Kathy made us each a small sized
Strawberry Shortcake for supper. It satisfied our craving without
filing us up.
The
Weather Network

Looks like I’ll be turning on our Blue
Flame Heater in
the morning. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

The winds where you are at seem to be quite severe. Glad you guys stayed in and watched movies.
ReplyDeleteIt does the body good to relax every once in a while.
ReplyDeleteIt's been crazy weather, that's for sure. I have to admit I've had no problem sitting on the couch all day!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised that your water barrel went airborne. We had 64mph winds here in Roswell and it tore down whole house sidings, uprooted trees and there was a sand storm that darkened the sky for most of the day.
ReplyDeleteThe wind was certainly with us yesterday and it seems to want to stay a little longer. I can see the bushes moving as I write this. Some days are meant for staying inside and watching movies sounds like you two enjoyed that sort of day.
