Our Lady's Windy Acres

Windswept!

Wow - I know we're called Our Lady's Windy Acres, but nothing prepared us for the 60-70 mph winds we had on Saturday!  We were blessed in that we didn't lose electricity, although it flickered a bit.  We got prepared for it, though, with our olive oil and other lamps, filling up the bathtub w/water just in case - thank Heavens my sweetie remembered I'd turned the water on, as I'd forgotten! LOL!  It's times like this I really wish I didn't have an electric stove, but rather a gas one. Ah well, God will provide if He wills it.  We have some damage, but after looking at what Ike did I can't complain really.  Nothing dreadful or unfixable, although I do hope we can get someone out to fix our barn roof before rain comes.  We lost a very old apple tree, and when hubby went to move it, he found that there was a hornet's nest inside! Ouch!! I put apple cider vinegar on the stings, but the poor man was in some discomfort - only 3 stings though. He was lucky/blessed to have been protected from worse.  Off to schooling the littles. Have a wonderful day!

We used to live on the Colorado plains, so I definately know what you mean when you talk about winds! We have an electric stove, also, but I like gas better, too. I take great comfort in the fact that we have a woodstove as when we lived out on the plains, there was many a time we didn't have any electric or phones, had blizzards at 20 below, but with my woodstove, I heated the house, dried my clothes and cooked on it!! If you don't already have one, consider getting one. It's a real life saver!
