Monday was truly a bad day for me mentally. Dealing with young adults in today's world is not only a challenge, but one big fat headache (when it shouldn't be). I raced through my work to keep my mind from exploding into teeny tiny bits.
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.......

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.
