Can you sleep when the wind blows? 😊

Today is the calm before the storm. Time to tie down anything that can move. We’ll put some straps around the beehives and make sure no loose items are laying around (like patio furniture) and we already have a chainsaw in the car.

Due to the saturated grounds and strength of the winds, widespread tree damage and power outages are a growing concern for Tuesday night into Wednesday. Please continue to monitor the forecast and plan accordingly.

If you don’t know the story behind “I can sleep when the wind blows” here is a good read:https://seekingscripture.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/i-can-sleep-when-the-wind-blows-1.pdf

We’ve received a couple concerned messages about flooding in the area with all the crazy rains. Thankfully, our homestead is high and dry, but we pray for the communities of Troy and Libby, MT, Clark Fork and Cataldo, ID along with properties along the CDA and St. Joe rivers and numerous places in WA that have been flooded and are still in danger of dams failing- especially with a forecast of another week of rain expected. An especial thanks and prayers for all the first responders and volunteers who are working tirelessly to secure roads and bridges the best they can.

Progress on fixing the old stained glass window. All the broken panels are removed and new glass is cut. If you didn’t know, lead is super soft and bendy. The glass is much stronger. Gizmo-CDA

I apologize to my calendulas for saying they weren’t tough enough to grow up here. We’ve had days of freezing temps, everything was covered in 6” of snow, and this is how they respond. Well done!

I’m doing an experiment. No, I’m not just being lazy. I want to see how cold tolerant my “cool weather” crops really are. I’ve left all these yummy herbs and veg in the ground with no cover or mulch whatsoever. It’s warmer this week and all the snow has melted so I can see that so far, these plants are survivors!

Well, that’s unfortunate. 50 mph winds last night ripped the venting roof sections off the greenhouse. Guess we’ll need to figure out some latches for winter time.
