Hello L and Hubby, hope all is well and that you have both had sufficient time to recuperate from the affect of the cookies? LOL
The wind just subsided (temporarily I'm sure) and I think the plants are still there. It is supposed to get towards freezing tonight so I set the makeshift tent/tarp up. What I didn't expect was the wind! Just stopped for now, but was blowing upwards of 60 mph sustained gusts and on top of that was rain, the first in a long time. Well I was out there desperately trying to save everything from blowing away (literally had to anchor the 'swing frame' to the deck). I had loose flaps and blown over shelves and it was getting worse. (wind is starting again as I type this) Finally got everything tied down semi-satisfactory as I've no way of knowing if anything would hold. I can only watch and wait (and hope). Tomorrow will be windy and tomorrow night cold again. After that it will get milder again so I can't give up yet!
I must look like a crab fisherman on rough seas out there on my little deck trying to wrestle with a 15' tarp in a gale!
does janet know you are out there? carry a flashlite strapped to you...you could at least signal for help that way, and no dangling thru that hole either...and no wind blown launches....we all know how you are about that hawaiian trip....well darn, that just about took care of all the fun didnt it...the weather does not sound good....ours are having problems with the cold too...still havent put heat to the room yet, its direct from outside...during the dark cycle it has played havoc with the ducks foot....just one bud, in front of fan, so it was getting a double shot of cold wind....moved it tonight when i finally figured it out.....take care of you...have you come up with any totals yet....on the gathered geitas? i have never added it all up since the beg. but i know i dont have nearly the legal limit stored....just seems to go away...up in smoke....just as it should be...i bet that was funny to see, but not fun to have to do or worry about....hope it is better now...L and hubby
