Springing Winds with Headaches to Grow!

 Springing Winds with Headaches to Grow!

 

As if the wind were not enough to live with at the moment, the stuff IN the wind has made having a headache almost a surefire situation. The weather report forecasted winds for Tuesday and Wednesday. Well, guess maybe 20+ mph wind might not be enough for them to call this a windy day, but it certainly feels windy to me. The wind from the last storm caught the siding on the long chicken coop and started it tearing off. Can’t make up my mind whether to go ahead and take that piece down or try to cover it up with plywood instead. Have to figure that one piece torn off can only lead to another panel tearing off in the wind as well. Argh!

 

Moved some hay bales early this morning and the hens immediately discovered the worms. Now have a trench where the bales were before. Those hens mean business! Too bad they can’t be harnessed to till up dirt for a garden! But then, the garden would have to be covered in chicken wire to allow growth. Oh well.

 

The dogs have been relatively happy today. Made them both let me have the recliner for a change. If the old woman gets up, one or the other of the dogs takes my place as sure as shooting! Both of them were on the little bench earlier with hardly enough room to fit all the feet and legs! They won’t get in the rocking chair, but that might change eventually. May have to bring the bench Sterling made for me into the living room instead of having it out on the deck. Love sitting out there, but it is simply too windy to enjoy right now.

 

Woke up early this morning to let the hens out and right away noticed that both my right knee and left hip were not hurting. Had to praise God right then and there. Wonder if God ever gets a kick out of us. It does seem like we expect things to happen and then are pretty doggone surprised when they don’t.

 

Have tried to stay totally away from the computer or any so-called “news” right now. The weather is one thing that can be totally off in forecasts, but for some of these folks to tell tall tales just irritates me to no end. Not anything an individual such as the old woman can do about all the stupidity going on today. About what we all can do with any chance of improvement would be to bow our heads in prayer. Only God can direct us or the paths of history. Let us, for the time being, pray for God’s mercy on those in the paths of storms or other terrors.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
