The wind was terrible today. I was really happy that the weather was so beautiful yesterday for the wedding and yard work. We spent the afternoon at Tristan’s visiting with a math student from Nigeria and being entertained by Tristan’s cats and birds. When I got home at 5:30, I had a message from the neighbor that the roof was blowing off my parent’s old house, so I spent the rest of the evening taking down some of the aluminum and tin roofing the wind had loosened and securing the rest so it will stay in place until I can get it all taken off. Since most of the roofing on that part of the house is aluminum, I’ve been planning to remove it and take it to recycling, but I haven’t had the energy to get out in the cold and do it. Now that it’s warming up, maybe I’ll start on it this weekend.
