Wind! And more wind!! So strong that it can throw you off balance in a single gust. There is a family story of a mother, homesteading in Kansas, with seven children, living in a one room soddy with, of course, no indoor plumbing, a cookstove that needed constant attention, a garden instead of a grocery store. One day she walked away from it all, leaving the younger children gaping by the door. She walked across the fields, carefully stepping across the rows, and strode up the hill about half a mile from the soddy. She stood there for a moment. Threw her head back and screamed so loudly the children could hear across the field. And then did it again. When she was screamed out, she came back to the soddy, striding again carefully over the fields. She paused at the door to tell the bewildered children, “This wind makes me want to scream. So I did!” I am with Grandma on this one! May you have peaceful breezes this week – or at least peaceful projects! Thanks so much for stopping by to share what you have been up to each week!!
