Windy Day

Hello,

Leroy and I did a bit of shopping this morning. One thing nice about shopping early on a windy Saturday, we have the stores to ourselves and the workers. At one point in the parking lot, while walking to the car, the wind was strong that it kicked up lots of stinging sand. Luckily we could turn our backs. Moving forward was quite difficult. I was grateful to remain standing. The report predicted wind gusts up to 50-55 mph. I do not know at what strength I lose the ability to move into the wind.

We also hung out dark clothing before we left. Leroy is preaching tonight and tomorrow so he wanted some clean clergy shirts. The wind was a great help drying them in just an hour and a half as well as sucking off any lint along with blowing out the wrinkles. There are some advantages to all of this power.

Now I am grateful to be inside in the warm protective walls that must be well insulated. The sun is wonderfully comforting streaming in the computer room window. Such a good life we have!

Leroy who had a touch of something is now feeling much more normal even though his head is still a bit full. He certainly is energetic. The plan this afternoon is to check out the garden and prepare for the community clean up tomorrow. Hopefully the wind will abate just a little by the time we get there. Later in the afternoon he will go to church as he likes to be there in plenty of time before the service. Should he allow more time to walk if the wind is still at high speed?

I will just stay home and go to church tomorrow. I do have book club. We have read a book that I do not recommend that anyone else read. I even wonder how this author ever had more than one book published. Who likes this verbiage anyway? How do they think?
