Saturday

Oh, my goodness!  The wind today is something ELSE~  I had to drive up the mountain to buy pellets for the horses and on the way, I wasn't even sure if I'd make it all the way.  It was that windy!  I figured I would just drive as far as I could and just see...I did make it, but it was misting heavily up there and and windy and the mist was coming down sideways!  I bought pellets for the herd, unloaded 4 bags, gave them some, and came home.  Along the way back down the hill, the wind gusts nearly knocked me off the road a couple of times!  I drove very slowly and pulled off onto each turnout, just to slow down!  Believe me, NOBODY was speeding down that mountain today!  I stopped to take this photo of the clouds moving along the mountains.  It's good to be home, but we just had a gust of wind that nearly took the roof off our house!  I was afraid that we'd lose some trees in the front yard, but so far, they're still with us!  UPDATE:  Hubby reported that several trees fell on cars over at the hotel and the streets of Palm Desert are littered with trees and tree branches!
