022- Wind Damage

I mentioned yesterday that the wind was really blowing. It made me think I was back in Palmdale where the wind roars most of the time. But this was, well, strong.



I knew last night when I got home from Ward Temple Night that one of our neighbor's staghorn sumacs had been blown down but it wasn't until this morning when I went out for photos that I saw that both big, beautiful, staghorns were down. They've been featured in so many of my sunset photos. Sniff... it always makes me sad when trees get damaged. Then I saw that part of their roof had been blown off! Yikes! The reports were winds 65-75 mph!!

But then, THEN, STINKIN' COW... I looked at my yard and saw that my fence was blown over. Just like the trees, snapped off at the ground!



I'm grateful that we didn't sustain serious damage AND that we have insurance. What a blessing.

So this evening just as it was getting dark and starting to snow I remembered that I had a roll of hog wire and metal posts that I'd used to keep Buddi out of my tomatoes (tomato-snatchin'-dog!). I rigged up a temporary fence to keep Harley in the backyard until we get the fence replaced.
