Who Says It's Cold Up Here - Windy But Not Cold!

Friday, the weather was GORGEOUS!  It was 67 degrees here with full sunshine and just a light breeze.  We were working in short sleeves. Friday night, the warm front continued to move through.  Saturday we woke to hearing wind whistling through our windbreak.  The temp got to be 57 degrees; however, we had 40 mile an hour wind gusts, but still sunshine. 

Keva called and I was telling her that we drove to the lake to see how the lake was dealing with that much wind.  Here is what the lake looks like on a normal day...

and then a short video of what we found.

 

 At some points, the waves were being pushed all the way up to the parking lot.  We weren't the only people there.  There were other folks at the shore to experience the power of the wind.  We had to shout to be heard trying to talk to each other.  A couple there actually walked out on the sand to have their picture taken by a third person.  I laughed as they had to run back off the beach just as the photographer was ready to take their picture or get VERY wet.

There were some MTU college students barefoot, walking on the huge breaker boulders - Mark and I were actually frightened for them - they think they are invincible and don't know the power of the wind or water.  We stood and watched them for a while until they decided they had gone for enough and turned back.  I think Mark would have tried to assist if things went south.  

Mark is still working on the patio project and I worked, with the assistance of a neighbor and maybe a new friend, to clean out the main aisle of the barn so that her husband's little Z240 and my HHR can be stored in there over the winter - my HHR is way too low to drive during the snowy season.  

Again, it was a good day.
