What a weather day. I drove north and had fog that was a challenge from time to time. Dennis drove east to Mankato and had to pull over at Lake Crystal because the rain was so heavy the wipers couldn’t keep up on the pickup. We both came back home safe and sound. We were sitting out on the patio this afternoon about four, watching the clouds when the wind shifted to the north. Huge gusts of wind and when we heard a crack coming from the back patio, we headed into the patio porch. A maple branch that was broke off from a viable larger limb is large enough, I know Dennis and I will not be able to move. It just missed the potting shed. We are in the house and will stay put for the evening and let happen what will with these winds.
