But, luckily, I didn't get any damage. I can't believe the winds coming under your patio like that! I'm glad you didn't lose power though. May I add that I love your green wicker chair and that green little picket fence! Figured I'd notice that when you were talking about things flying around! Anyway, love your stuff. ;)<br />I'm glad you and your hubby stayed safe and all you got were a few broken items.<br />Best,<br />GloriaGloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089446185793581415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-11405609853116127312011-12-04T06:31:12.443-08:002011-12-04T06:31:12.443-08:00Oh darling, I am so sorry for the loss of the beau...Oh darling, I am so sorry for the loss of the beautiful plants, as you say this is nothing in the great scheme of things, just plants, memories remain after their cleaned up..

It can be as simple as a light summer breeze to as damaging as your Santa Anas. Just wind....no rain, no snow, no sleet, no ice, no thunder and lightning....just wind. The invisible menace! It can move a single leaf or blow down a house. It can create havoc whereever it goes.<br /><br />Your poor little plants!

We are h...We are so helpless in the face of nature! We are having very strong winds here (not as severe as yours, though). We use our leaf blower every day without fail. We wake up each morning to twigs and small branches scattered all over. Each time I have a moan, my husband tells me it's nature and there's no use trying to fight it. It's tough, though, isn't it, especially when we take so much care to try and keep our gardens looking good.Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-59883066020999901552011-12-03T06:48:52.483-08:002011-12-03T06:48:52.483-08:00Oh I heard it was terrible.

They would leave piles of sand on the roads in front of our place. Cars would get stuck on them and we would have to pull them off with our tractor. They would lasts for days sometimes.
