The winds began blowing yesterday, but they were mild.
This morning they picked up a bit, but still not bad.

Waves splashed over the sea wall and soaked the fire pit.

Then it really picked up.

Rupert and I decided to stay in, sip brandy and play backgammon.LeRupier

By sunset the wind calmed and the clouds offered up a beautiful sunset.

Rupert’s Wisdom
Respect Mother Nature.
If you play ‘throw me the ball’ in high winds, she’ll take your ball.
