Today’s Thoughts

It’s a very windy day. Batten down the hatches.

Spring always brings wind to our area. Today is the windiest day of this season.

I’m enjoying the day inside. Catching up on mail, cleaning a little.

I’ll be ready to go outside after these high winds stop. At least my current area does not have a problem with sand when it blows.
