Practically like a hurricane

Things are starting to green up around here, and flowers are showing up all over the place. When we look out our windows now, it's such a nice surprise to see some color - green leaves, instead of bare brown branches. The color of leaves at this time of year, when they are brand new, is the perfect green color. Now, if only we could get the wind to quit!! The wind around here has been just unbelievable. It is relentless and at times almost feels like we're in a hurricane. We're actually surprised no big branches have snapped off of our trees.
