Screaming gales on and off this past couple of weeks. No real damage, although I came out on Tuesday morning to find that the big door on the woodshed was wide open back against the shed’s side. Apparently the wind had managed to get under the edge of the door and rip the catch open. A few branches off the shelterbelt trees here and there, and the gutters full of debris. But the two Yellowhammers arrived cheerfully to share the hen’s wheat, and all the other small wild birds seemed to be okay as well. And precipitation continues in steady amounts. We’ve soared past two inches for October thus far as look likely to be more yet. That’ll keep the grass growing. (In fact it has, if the geese don’t eat faster I’ll have to bring the sheep onto the big front lawn for a week.)
