something I am grateful for today

The wind stopped.

A really strong wind was howling and buffeting our house all yesterday and the night before. It was getting disturbing -- I can't remember the last time there was such a powerful relentless wind for such a long time without even the briefest interruption. Eventually it was freaking me out.

Also, it was during this howling sub-zero white-out windstorm that our garage door got stuck partway open and broke -- couldn't get the car out. I'm grateful that there was a company willing to send someone out on a weekend during a storm to fix it -- they had it done just after lunch and didn't charge so very much for it either.

The wind was wicked but not quite as bad at our end of town. Today is cold, bright and still. Frances (who had to turn back because of weather yesterday) can get safely home. I'm grateful for that.
