The wind here has been truly terrible. However, it's been very helpful in drying all my laundry, rugs (yes rugs in March), and bedding. I was praying it didn't land out in the pasture by afternoon.
In fact the wind was so bad, raking the pine cones didn't happen. I managed to get my rake out though.
Instead, I finished up box #1 of our ears of black dakota popcorn. It was a good day for winnowing. It literally only took a few minutes this time.
Tuesday the wind sounded like winter. It was a brisk 29°F out, and very unexpected. The wind was worse. We will need to buy two new large tarps now. Ours are torn to bits.
It was freezing in the house, and we were out of cut wood, so the resourceful me went on a treasure hunt. Good thing I had spinach twice in one day. I needed it to haul the sled of heavy barn wood to the house. Whew.
Eggs were pickled. The house was smelling divine again.
Today it's 31°F out, and the wind should die down to 16mph. We were lucky last night. No snow. It fell just south of us.
update: we are getting snow right now. Sigh.......

This seems to be the winter that won't leave. I don't know what I like less - wind or snow. I guess I don't like either if there is too much of it. Here's hoping that your 'young adults' will go out on their own soon and find out how good they had it!
Susan, you are right about what is worse - wind or snow (or both). It's freezing in my house, and no one stoked the fire. I had to get it going again just to exercise. Yes, the girls moving out sooner than later would be great. They both seem to find time and money to buy clothes and go out to eat and spend money on expensive coffee, but can't put money in the bank to secure a place of their own. Only once did our 21 year-old buy the coffee here. She drinks a lot of it when she actually comes home.
That wind sounds chilling. I remember the wind when I lived by the Atlantic Ocean on Prince Edward Island and it could cut right through a person. That sucks that you have snow too! I hope you're doing better mentally. That can be very fatiguing to the physical body too!
Rain, this winter has been too long for all of us. Ugh. Then again, when the heat of summer comes, I'll be ready for fall again too, lol!
I know how you're feeling. With the deterioration in my neck and the pain in my shoulders, I get good days and bad days, and the bad weather brings on more bad ones than good ones, but I do believe that this too shall pass.
Our Dad use to say, "What can't be cured must be endured" and this Adventure in Aging I'm experiencing is surely teaching me that. LOL
Prayers everyone has a great weekend, and a safe one too.
God bless.
