Up shortly after going to bed and took another try at the horizontal 3 hours later. Nearly made up for the lost sleep by showing up again on the vertical over 2 hours later than usual ... Held to a work schedule still, I would be running on bald tires, fumes in the fuel tank, and a shaky suspension ...
Cannot claim that I was troubled by the noise of 50 mph wind gusts but it was somewhat troubling to look out the kitchen window and see dancing tree branches. A sleeping person was killed not far away when a tree fell on his home during Wednesday's storm. Of course, being awake is no guarantee of avoiding a tree falling through the roof. Fortunately, we don't have one of those huge evergreens that near the house.
Breakfast!

Yes the wether has been treaturous I can’t say I wasn’t alarmed . It is a mess thruout the property. Wind has taken down all the loose pine needles and several branches littering the roof as well. Lots of clean up on the agenda. There is a huge pond in the pasture that wasn’t there 3 days ago.All the horrible stories on the news about flooding homes, property, roads, school closings, downed trees, landslides and power lines is almost if not sadly as bad as the storms that cause so much havoc in 1992 . Everywhere I look downstream is flooded.
Today the storms have moved on. No fog, bright blue skies. A chance to dry out. My spirits are lifted as I plan the rounding up of tree limbs and debris . Yet I cannot forget those families & the many souls the storms had left a horrific impact on so many thruout the PNW . Sending prayers and blessings their way for a complete recovery and swift healing from the impact of hurricane level storms back to back.

Its bad when The Cajun Navy 2016 loads up, leaves Louisiana and heads west to Washington. And Samaritan's Purse asks for help for the flood victims.

it is quite ok after you go pee (in the bathroom - for those who need directions consult your local map).
i have had a bite for breakfast (half a cinamon roll and a glass of milk and then also a part of a glass of eggnog) and we've got the mixer set up as Mom is going to bake cookies. also there is now some Christmas music for her to listen to while she's doing that.

I thought about putting this in the garden humor thread but then, it might have been thought that I approve of such a taste

for something different today for breakfast i made some oatmeal and put peanut butter on it and then added some peanuts to give it some more texture and chew. no other added sugar or anything as the peanut butter has some sugar added to it.
we'll see how my body deals with this sudden change in routine... in the past my body has done quite ok with oatmeal, but i haven't been eating much of it for quite a few months now so perhaps this change will upset the balance and get the farm "down there" upset... we'll see...
the things we do for entertainment in the winter... (yes it is winter here now at last).

There's Corn Flakes and Honey Oh's in the bowl, banana slices over and under. An orange on the side. Oolong.
No snow on the ground, that's good for dragging the cans out for the garbage trucks by 6. I'd better check recycling schedule. With the huge bin they provided as a replacement, I skip a pick up and go for 4 weeks. Already tossed the 2025 schedule in the bin.
What's the matter with me?! May have to wake DW if she isn't out of the bedroom soon. It's too windy to be out there in pj's and a bathrobe — should have moved a change of clothes and jacket to the utility room yesterday. What's the matter with me?!

Sometimes there’s just to much to consider doing every day . Added in the weather factor and other responsibilities I think you’re doing a great job.
