Wow! Wind!

So do you remember all those leaves that had fallen on the ground around here?

Well, since then we had a HUGE windstorm. And this is what that same spot looks like now.

There are tree branches scattered all over the pasture. Who would have known that the first time I have access to unlimited kindling...I dont have a wood burning fireplace.

I have to say tho, the leaves on those tree branches are making the goat boys
really happy.

When I walked from the pasture into the llama stall, tho...I was not the least bit happy.

We dont actually use the llama stall that often as the llama ladies normally stay out in the pasture all night. They like it out there. Under the stars.

And thankfully this evening wasnt any different.

Because this is what I came upon when I went into their stall.

This is some miscellaneous building materials that the previous homeowner had left behind. It used to be wedged in between the barn wall and a big, huge cabinet. But the cabinet has since been removed and disposed of. The building materials on the other hand had not yet made it out of the stall.

One of the items in there was some sort of storm window.

Upon falling, it broke and shattered into a million pieces.

It was a huge mess to clean up. And let me tell you...those doors were heavy!

But it was hard to stay upset about that big mess when I see tumbleweeds the size of small trees blowing around in my yard.

This one managed to nestle up right next to one of my pear trees.

You gotta love the desert.
