Was out in shorts and T yesterday, nearly applied sunblock to children. In February, that’s how it’s been. I fully get we/West haven’t the reality or even imagination of the snow banks out East, but we’ve had our wind(s) this winter.
The season’s wind damage to the acre:
- some shingles + ridge cap down
- big flying branch takes out gutter section, could have been worse
- big flying branch takes out no one, could have been worser
- significant neighbor branch flies a long way on to our property
- shed door wildly swings open busting hinge and post
- birdhouse down
Through all of it, every single gust, there’s been this little pinwheel surviving in the same spot for months. 99 cents that never wavered. An exact partner a few feet away didn’t last two days. This thing has amazed me–> repeatedly standing ground and doing its job no matter the weather–> staying true and still spinning as other bigger branches have surrendered and messed up our yard.
Telling myself if it can I can.
