Its always blowing here, perfect place for a windmill if the township allowed me to have one. Last night though was really windy. It was so windy in fact that the wind tore off a piece of the fascia on one end of my house, and the wind blowing through the vents in my garage turned it into a huge tuned cavity that growls. Then there is the 3 foot drifts of snow completely covering my front sidewalk.

I cannot repair the fascia damage, I will have to hire someone with the appropriate tools and materials to do that. It might have to wait a while, as I would not want anyone climbing a ladder in 50 mile an hour wind gusts, not to mention the well below freezing temperature. I will have to clear the front walk as soon as the wind lets up a bit.

I think that had I known how windy it is here, I would have bought land somewhere else. The top of the mountain here (elevation 1853 feet) does have advantages in the summer though. With the nice breeze and cooler temperatures, air conditioning is rarely needed. It doesn’t flood here either 🙂

At my age, I doubt if I will ever move again. If I could pick another place to live, the mountains might not be my first choice, but I would definitely look for a wooded area. I love having the trees and the wildlife surround me, and having the birds and animals visit my backyard every day.

Who wouldn’t want to see this guy?
