Well the day started off SUCKING! At 2am I woke up to what I thought was a crash. I thought that my S.F. might have fallen so I jump up to head into the next room. Got to about the middle of the foot of our bed & realized that it was thunder (& a lot more followed). So I turned to go back to bed & caught the board to our ramp (for the dogs) between my big toe & the next toe. Fell HARD on my knee & elbow & tore skin off of both & of course the toes weren't happy & bleeding. Went back to bed (wife didn't even wake up). Got up & realized that once AGAIN I hurt my right knee & right shoulder (that's my good shoulder). So I'm sore as all get out today. Then we had WIND kick up. They say there are gusts over 60mph & I believe it. I saved my plant sun shade (so far) with every clamp that I have. It's blowing so hard that the sun shade is actually loosening the stakes that it's attached to. In 30 minutes I need to go to the base & pick up my medications & I just saw that there is a dust storm on the way. Yippee skip what a day this is turning out to be.
 
Got DH's car this morning. It has a hemi. He likes it!

The wind is crazy @old tex! Power is out here, trees and branches down! The dust is thick, blocks the sun like it's cloudy!! Just got home a bit ago, need to go check on the donkey, he's hiding in his barn from the wind!!
I just came back from checking my sun screen. It's still there. I "thought" that the wind was over for about 30 seconds. Then it kicked up again. The funny part is that I have a lot of older trees in my yard. Yesterday I walked around & picked up sticks & branches from those trees so that our puppy wouldn't bring them in (& eat them). What a waste of time because I now have 20 times more sticks than I picked up.

Oh & my bird feeding for the winter has ended. The last of the food that I had out has "Gone With The Wind" & is probably in Arkansas now. In the end, from start to finish, I think that we put out somewhere around 1,250 lbs of bird seed.
