Ice, Rains & Winds

 First we had on the 23 an Ice Storm

then came on the 26 the Rain hit, with

27 we had over 50 mph Winds!  What

a week so far.  

This am when I left for the shot clinic

the van was pelted by falling pinecones. 

While awaiting my 30 minutes after the 

shot was given the phone stared to bing.

I checked and the tarp had blown off the 

greenhouse.  So I hurried home taking the

regular route when I got to the lower area

a limb came down and hit the drivers wind-

shield hitting the wiper.  Thank goodness

I was close to home and didn't turn them

back on until I could adjust them in the 

garage.  Got in the house just in time for

the power to go off and one scared fur

baby!!  No power from 10:30am to 

4:30pm and the house got cold!!   I also 

went out in the rain and put extra sand

bags at each leg of the gazebo after seeing

it try to fly. The poor little girl hates thunder

to the point she will jump into the tub down 

the hall when she is scared.  I couldn't get her

to come out of the bathroom at all.  So I put

her blanket in the tub.

Poor Sable's area was covered in limbs and 

pinecones!  What a huge mess.  I was able to

get it cleaned up and pull the tarp behind the

fence area.  Tomorrow if the rain lets up I

can put it back on the greenhouse.  I noticed

the light pop on in the greenhouse after I go

the tarp moved.  I quickly went in and rest the

heater, grabbed the rake and cleaned up to the

north of the carport, then went inside the 

Brug House and rest that heater for the night.

It was starting to get dark so it will have to 

all wait until light.

The news stated we had close or over 5 inches

of rain in the past 48 hours.  To watch for falling

trees due to what we have seen in the last few 

days.  Our winds were over 50 mph in the valley

with  Mt Hood having upwards of 75 mph.  Yes,

they closed due to the winds.  

What a wild ride!!
