The Wind The wind blew yesterday Through the Hi-Desert hideaway Threw everything around Unscrewed a dead tree from the ground Sending it sailing and Assailing everything with sand Shattering all the dry Fall leaves heaving sticks through the sky Battering the walls to Matter enough to worry through Making us stay awake Shaking the house like an earthquake Like something hazardous For three old animals like us Here snuggled up within Dug in against the wind again In a high wind event That went on and on but it went Not uneventfully But it went eventually I liked the howling sound It made I thought impressively Swirling around and round Marisol and Bowser and me But I wondered if we Might after all be blown away Before we got to see It snow Thanksgiving like they say So wind if you must blow As just the thing that you must do Then I can understand But I hope now I can trust you I hope my wish comes true And trust you know next time bring snow Steven Curtis Lance

Those masses of cold air that swoop down and bring the snow bring that wind with them. Glad that you got through it with your two friends this time and hope you have snow today.

The wind blew here yesterday with sustained gusts of 60 mph. Today I've got lots of cleanup to do. The power of nature never ceases to amaze me. Batten down the hatches.

Great longing for the snow. Well, all I can say is that you might not like it when it finally arrives.
