Big Fat Liars...

 

Talking about the weather weasels again.  Before going to bed, I checked weather... the "chance of precipitation" they were talking about was insignificant in the hourly forecasts.  I was more concerned about wind.  The wind was predicted to be single digit speeds through the night and all day today.

They lied.

The wind howled through the night.  In the light of day this morning, the plant stand that holds about a dozen pots had blown over.  Pots broke, plants and dirt spilled out.  More work for Joan.  I was concerned that the pop-up cover we have over the hot tub would be damaged, but it looks OK.  Joan had secured 3 of the 4 legs, and I put weights on all 4 feet.  The fabric top on it was making some noise in the wind, but it wasn't going anywhere.

Other potted plants blown over, but they were on the ground, so nothing broke.

Anticipating some rain, Joan put a second cover over the patio furniture last night.

The predicted high today is only 101º and more humidity.
