Weather

Why is it that whenever I start to formulate a plan to tackle the Christmas baking, the weather here decides to go wacky? I have been up for about 4 hours, drinking coffee, and finally get up the gumption to make something when the wind starts to blow and flap the awning outside. This, in turn, sets the big ol' baby boy dog, Puppa, on edge and he just wants to climb up me. I think when we had that major windstorm last month, it scarred him for life. There we were, all 4 of us, huddled up on the bed, power out, trailer rocking back and forth with every gust of wind. When the little Sasha girl dog started shaking, I knew it was time to get out! So at 6:30 am, I put the dogs in the truck, went back in to get my purse, flashlight and Super Dave wrapped in a towel, only to go back outside to find my awning had halfway collapsed (check out the pictures). I almost couldn't get the door opened up. In my rush to evacuate, I forgot to put on my glasses and could not, for the life of me, figure out why I couldn't see! Duh! All's well that ends well! I guess we are in for a good amount of rain today! It sure is coming down. I'm so glad that my husband finally got the tarp over this thing, but it does tend to whip in the wind. But I can leave my vents open for fresh air and not worry about getting wet. The main vent sits directly over our bed!
