Wind

Most of the time we have mild weather, okay it gets a little hot in the summer for a bit. Living in a desert one would expect that right. Even the flooding that happens with the rainy season, is to be expected, happens every year.

So do the winds. Every year we see places blown apart.
This is feet from us. Between my mom's place and aunts.

Took a lot of the roof right off, twisted the whole thing pretty good. No one lives there thankfully. It was to be used as a addition to my parents place... some day.


Same yard, same day. Not a petal out of place :D
Our gardens are a little wind blown but doing good. ( Now if we could keep the neighbor's cat from eating our pepper and tomato plants we'd be doing okay :D )
