The wind doth blow!!! Or, as we like to say, “It’s doth-ing out.”
And when the wind blows, trees do bend. Sometimes they fall, wherein we obtain firewood.  When they just sway and torque in the 80 mph winds, we have broken swing sets. Yes, the huge beam which Jerry mounted between two massive spruce trees could not withstand the winds of last night. The movement of the trees made one beam end disconnect from the tree. Repair and reconstruction will ensue but not for some time. It’s still (always!!) soccer season and that takes up a lot of weekend time.
The power also went out for an hour early this morning. I had the oil lamps burning and manually dripped some coffee to sip while reading. Pioneer days!
I was wondering! I saw “80 mph winds on the coast” on the news - yikes! We love our big trees, but as the saying goes, the bigger they are…
:-O
