Wind is picking up...

The wind is beginning to blow outside. Sometimes the gust is strong enough to hear the walls creak a little. No rain as of yet (8:44pm CST). The girls took some time to play in the wind after dinner. They made kites and paper airplanes. It was all fun until the airplane blew down the street and one of the kites blew away! It caught a gust and was gone!

I am only worried about one large tree in my neighbor's yard. It is a tall, long needle pine. Most likely it would just break in the center, not fall over. The root system on these pines are huge. Not sure if it will crack off and drop or hang there? Most likely, we will be lucky and the tree will survive. I am just be paranoid! lol!

The wind is coming in from the north. (not the south) we stood out in the back yard at sunset watching the clouds above. It was fun to watch the swirling clouds overhead. You could actually see the swirl of the hurricane clouds.

We are ready to jump in the master closets if needed. The girls are all sleeping downstairs tonight with us. Our food storage and water is also in the closets with us. We will fine. No worries ya'll! :O)


Homemade Kite Flying


The Tree next to my house. (gulp.) The pinecones keep nailing our kitchen windows. It's making us a bit jumpy.
