Storms

Went to bed shortly after 10 last night and heard the winds starting up..It got up and looked outside and was worried about our awning as the wind gusts were pretty strong. R. decided to lower the awning. Lowering it wasn't really a problem for him, but he can't raise it now because he still can't lift anything that heavy. I guess it will be fine the way it is until someone comes to raise it. The rain and wind died down and it wasn't as bad as predicted, but it put my mind at ease to have the awning lowered. It's a beautiful morning here and should be a beautiful day. We have a few things to do..pick up later. When things dry out I'm going to need to blow off both decks and the leaves really came down with all of the wind. Nothing else brewing around here today. We went to Knoxville on Monday and the trees still weren' t showing color..maybe just a hint. By Wednesday, they were beautiful. It's amazing how quickly that happens...later...
