And the wind blew...

 Last week, the wind blew...
it blew for over 2 days...
like a hair dryer on turbo!

There is a corn field
just to the north of our yard,
the wind blew and blew.
It blew corn husks all over...
but a lot of the field
stopped so nicely
by our new fence :)

Austin...where are you?

Look at that debris!

debris along the garden path




happy blooming mums








 
view to the west along our neighbor's fence...bushes are in our yard

by our shed
Our neighbor's yard and fence really caught
the corn and leaves!
(Joshua takes care of the neighbor's yard...)

Look at how the wind pushed the shucks through the fence!

The wind blew dirt into the house!

The wind blew at a constant speed of over 50 mph.  
Semi trucks were tipped over...
a roof downtown was ripped off...
and several trampolines blew out of their yards.
We are very thankful that we didn't have more damage!

Lord,
Thank you for your protection during our windstorm!
Thank you for sturdy homes in our community...
Thank you!
