We bought a new outside awning this past summer. It is equipped to go in when the wind reaches certain strengths. But...I can't hang my pretties on them. I haven't figured out the solar or fancy lights, but that will come to me. This is what I did with a couple of my favorite windsocks...
I took a look at that shepherd's hook and said, "My, my...that rounded area is just right for my 8" cake pans. So I took out my cheap plastic beads and made sun catchers to attach. Looks good...not like glass, but lots cheaper...lol.
Then we have Halloween coming up, so I decided on my purple lights, cobwebs and fuzzy spiders. Well, those cobwebs were a challenge. I now understand why other folks have such messes with them They just do not come out of the package like the illustration shows...but we're decorated.
The pumpkin will be carved later...
We were sitting inside relaxing after all the decorating the other day, when all at once...we were rocked by a powerful wind...the awning flipped up (fortunately not broken)...plants fell over...chairs flew in the air bouncing off the awning. The wind lasted just the blink of an eye. It hit just the middle of the coach. The decorations in front and the bbq towards the back...not touched. It's the weirdest thing we've ever seen. We're calling it a mini microburst. There were no clouds...no thunder...no rain...it was a beautiful day before and after. None of the other neighbors had anything but a little breeze all day.
Today we walked a loop up to the bottom of the Telegraph Pass...got eleven geocaches...left early to avoid the heat...but didn't get back to the pickup until about 3 hours later...LOL. It was over 80 at that time.
But we had a great walk...and had fun! Like my beard? We thought we had all the tall grass laid down in front of the rock the camera was set on.
Notice the towers on the hill? We've walked up there...two new caches there...we won't ever get them...lol...tough steep walk.
About finished with another novel, so I'm off to read, as my man watches the Nascar race.
