Windy here too but we're used to having 90-100km/hr winds lol!
But had to tie the syrup buckets to the taps after the wind blew one bucket off as well as the tap! Birds happy to be out but on the lee side of the barn! Nice and warm and sunny though....

Lost Miss Blue (a black Aussie) last night. She didn't come home at dark and hubby found her halfway across the neighbours field this morning. She'd been acting oddly for a couple of days and although she'd been partly eaten we suspect she just died out there (4yrs old). There was no fuss or alarms from the other chickens and turkeys so Bye bye old girl.

Weve lost a few more shingles, the the old layer underneath is still there so its still protected! The west side of my run is now leaning inwards!!! If it lets go its guna be a big disaster! But then again it could always be much worse! Im guna have to figure out a plan here quick to temporarily reinforce it!

Ahh crap KB! very sorry!

Kb sorry to hear.about miss blue. 4 years is not bad.

We lost 3 pieces of flashing and finally the wind is calming down. It blew the horse tape off a few of the fiberglass posts!! I will have to take the flasjlight out in a bit and get martin to help me. No chance on the horses getting anyways so its not a problem....but the fence around the one apple tree is down and we dont need ted eating the tree.

Hope everything is okay Al!! Hows Lizzie doing?
I thouht our one walnut was coming down for sure, but it didnt somehow. Probably firmly anchored to the ground due to lightning strikes melting the sand around it lol.

Chore time....hope everyone is safe. That was crazy stupid crazy wind.
last time we had a wind like that we lost our roof-everything right down to the plywood.

We got shingles coming off. We do need to reshingle in spring though.
