Wind Advisory Today

Mr. Scarecrow gave it up early today, when he broke loose from his perch.

First wildflowers for 2012

After a couple of weeks of beautiful weather, today, I am facing outside project day with a wind advisory.The howling winds woke me this morning about 4am.

Here is what the weather alert has said, "winds...20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. Loose objects will be blown around and driving may become difficult".

Granny Smith

My worries are the early blooms on the fruit trees will be blown away. It could mean no fruit for this year, or at the very least, a reduced crop of fruit. And the moisture in the soil will be zapped up by the winds.

Bluebonnet Plant

Yesterday, I saw small beginnings of our State Flower, the Bluebonnet. In a few weeks, my pasture will be a sea of blue, with other wildflowers sprinkled in between.

I guess I will fight the winds today and work outside until noon.

The afternoon will be spent in my sewing nook. I have the new skirt for the laundry room to finish.
