Blown Away

What a windy weekend! Two days of constant blow with regular gusts over 50 mph. My big beautiful Boston Fern blew off the deck :( Poor baby got one side kind of smooshed altho she seems to be recovering nicely.

Funniest thing seen blowing down the road? One of those pop-up tents - you know, the ones with memory springs sewn in so they always hold their shape? They make great tumbleweeds! By the time it crossed my path it was a filthy, fairly ripped-up ball of blue. Too funny! I think it blew in from South Dakota!

There were power outtages everywhere; we lost power at noon on Sunday so I took Max out for a movie and early dinner. Tom phoned me at about 6 to report that our power was still off. On TAR night!!! So we had to scramble and wound up going to the Fire Hall so we wouldn't miss the finale. A couple of deputies were watching something else on the big screen so we watched in on the Chief's "little" 32 incher. TG the people I hated didn't win! See, I had to watch the finale to be sure they didn't win.

We're in the middle of a heat wave. *hops*
I too am glad that my least favorite didn't win. But, two of the three last teams were my two least favorite. *makes face*

That's where my tent went.

I never thought of watching TV at the fire station. The last time we were at the fire stationk, we made a people-pyramid with the firemen during a car rally.
