The Wind

Montana's "wind swept prairie" comes by that description quite honestly. It is because of winds such as those we have had the past few days. They will blow away almost anything that isn't fastened down! The dogs seem to still be standing, although I am pretty sure the kittens would be goners if they got out into it! The swing set was sent tumbling, even though I had it anchored down front and back on both sides. The roof on the kids play house, again, took off. It was never put back from the last time, but it WAS tucked under the slide to keep it from blowing away.

The wind was a problem at the family home up on 33rd Ave NE, too. We faced the wind directly and, although it was a beautiful view, you didn't dare leave anything on the deck when the wind blew! However, in the front of the house was a little courtyard which was fairly well protected by the wind. Hopefully, Kathleen and Andy will design their own courtyard for out here! They do have plans...I just don't know what they are yet.
