Wind!

Am still getting bouts of wind and rain here. Flood waters are starting to recede. Don't think the wind has been as high as you are getting.
Funny as a little kid growing up on the coast I thought the wind was only a problem here, later I learned in blows inland, too.

Right now it is sunny and warm, seems pretty calm out today.
Nice not seeing the livestock soaking wet with their butts to the wind. Some days the horse almost tries to back across the pasture rather than face the storm.
 
Branch breaking windy here early last week, but last few days calm and sunny. Unseasonably cold in the morning, but warm by afternoon with a very gentle breeze.

We shall see what late April and early May bring. Generally we have very high gust (70-80 MPH) storms moving thru. They don't last but sure can cause a lot of damage. If out and about on the tree lined back roads, I have my small chain saw with me. A few years ago it took me 2 hours to go one mile after I made my escape from a sheltered area. To clear a path, I had to cut the uprooted trees in smaller pieces that when I was young. :LOL:
 
Nice calm day yesterday, so I did my ranching (4 hours lawn mowing and weed eating). Then the wind hit and I reassessed my earlier resolve that my aching body was worth this agricultural eye candy.

Nice today, so all the fallen branches are picked up, but all those seed pods will stay till next mowing.

Anytime you complete anything ranching you want to remember, make a mental photo or take a camera one, because it might change quickly.

Today, I fertilize with triple 16, so there won't be any chance of rain tomorrow. Hopefully no or low wind so I can run the sprinklers.
 
We had fertilizer spread yesterday afternoon based on the Winter Storm Warning that was issued.
Very seldom does a plan come together, but it started snowing late evening yesterday and it's
still snowing. Not piling up much, melting as it comes down, PERFECT!! And we are thankful. It is
white outside. Thank you, Lord!
