wind . . .Wind . . . WIND . . . wind . . . wind

I look at that title and even thought I was thinking of the wind that is weather - breezes, gusts, straight line and so forth, I get the image of a wind-up toy in my mind. But never mind that. Too late? Well, I should have kept my mouth shut.

It is windy here. No, do not see all the folks walking around stiffly with a little thing to twist coming out of their backs; words such as "wind" can be a problem, can't they? Another one is polish. How much polish do you need to screw in a light bulb? For seem reason my spirits are up right now, even though they are manifesting themselves in a juvenile fashion. I mean spirits as in attitude - not liquor, although it is up too. You knew that though, didn't you?

Okay, really, the shrubs and trees are whipping around and I have to go out and drag a limb that came down off the sidewalk. I am hoping it is a dead one that has been threatening to come down and will be light and, obviously, no longer a threat. I was not aware of this until middle age, but the chief cause of death in the days of early settlement in these parts was falling limbs. Sometimes it amuses me to think of how residential lots are now advertised as "wooded" when back then, the draw might have been a "clearing" in which to build.

I have strayed from the weather topic - I guess the wind blew me off.
