The wind is blowing like sixty today. I guess I shouldn't be surprised as late Winter/early Spring is forever & quickly changing. I'll take a few more cool days before the heat comes waving in & settles for the summer. This wind is just crazy though. I think I have more shingles in my yard than on the roof!!
Mr. Peepers doesn't seem to mind it too much though. He hangs out in his little shed or lounges in the sun where the house blocks the wind. He hasn't quite figured out the dog door the way BB did, but he is learning. He likes to lick it so the flap is very clean on the outside. BB used to stick her head through & beller her brains out letting you know she was hungry. Mr. Peepers isn't as pushy, but he lets you know in his own quiet & reserved way.
I had to get a picture of these ladies. They look like they are resting, but actually they are practicing their high-kick routine. Not sure when they will debut their show as we have yet to work out all the details. It would seem that they & their manager are very demanding & there are all sorts of stipulations on what they want in their dressing rooms - molasses, fresh grass, grade A hay & their own water trough. Diva Brahmans - just what we need around here!!
Since we are stalled out on our fence project until we get the dozer crew out here to clean up the line, this was our project. We built a new rack to hold all our steel & PVC pipe, re-bar, sucker rod, etc. The original one was built in 1950something, reinforced in 1980something & was not too far from complete collapse. It took us a week to sort scrap from keep, tear down the old & build the new. I chiseled out the notches for the support boards & used the torch to heat the cross supports for crimping. Kinda fun to do all that & the rack is loaded again. Of course, now my back is out of whack due to all the bending & lifting. The chiropractor says it's not too bad & I do already feel better after my first visit to get straightened out again. Hopefully with alignment, time, patience, ice, exercise & Advil, I will be back to walking & bending like a normal person by the end of the week!
Here's to a wonderful day & hoping we don't get blown away!
