Wind was one aspect of weather that was not on my radar when I was looking for the next place to live four years ago. I'm sure it is not nearly so windy here as it might be in Kansas, but it is certainly much more windy that it was anywhere I lived in the NE. I really do feel cheated when I cannot go outside because of the wind, especially when the weather is sunny and the air is in the high fifties or low sixties. That said, we get lots of good weather in a year, so the feeling is fleeting.
Fortunately, today the weather is calm. (also, the Gladiator fire is mostly under control. Cool weather and a few more days of calm should suffice to complete the job. That and the 150 firefighters that remain here fighting it.) The high for the day will be mid seventies. And I hope to spend several hours just puttering in the garden. Maybe there will be a rose or two in bloom.
