LOL Well, this isn't exactly Tornado bad...but just the sustained buffeting...and the gusts rattle the windows!

The wind is just howling through the trees.

The thing is, it does this every year and always indicates spring. I watch for it.

I remember when I was expecting Joshua, the spring before I had him...walking along and seeing my hair (which was like 2 feet long at that time) blowing straight up...I could see my shadow with all this hair sticking straight up.

I'm just having fun with you, too, hopefully to help get your mind off it. But seriously, we get that around here, too, although it's not necessarily an indicator of spring here. A few months ago we had gusts of 50+ mph that ripped up a lot of trees here. One on the shore of our pond was totally uprooted along with the earth under it--if you go out on the water and look at it you can see the bottom of the roots, dirt, and rocks that came up with it. Sometimes when it gets like that the wind is so loud it sounds like something outside is trying to get in my bedroom. It can be spooky!
