Windy

Monday evening we just about got blown away. We had not heard on the weather about any high winds, but they came. Our awning was out with Christmas lights on it, it was strapped down tight, but after about an hour of wind gusts up 50MPH, the straps kept loosening. We got our neighbors, Rob and Patty to help us put the awning up. It took all of us to do it, the wind was so strong and kept blowing sand and gravel at us. We did get it put up safely, but yesterday we had to wash everything outside as they were covered with spotted dirt and sand. The truck will get washed today, all the car washes had terrible lines yesterday.
Yesterday was sunny, as is today, it is still cool, but as long as the sun is out life is good.
