Yesterday we had a very, very strong wind advisory. 41 miles per hour, to be exact. It was terrible. You couldn't even stand outside if you wanted to. And if you were going to go to the lake to do some fishing, I wouldn't highly recommend it.

Takai was scared to death. The wind was blowing the tree branches against the windows so that it would make an obnoxious screeching noise, and that made her even more frightened. But the winds died down today, so she's not that scared anymore(right now she's watching aunt Sadie and mom talking).

If we have another wind advisory, and if there's a girl in a blue dress and brown french braids singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", don't even try stepping outside, not even in your ruby slippers!
