The Violent Wind, a most windy day

Today was one of those days when the wind was so loud and unrelenting in its road, that we couldn't go outside. We closed all the windows too, because it was upsetting, erratic, and closed windows seemed to drown out the pestilence of noise and block the sight of leaves trapped and forced to constantly flap and frown.

It's been many moons since I was so harshly affected by a windy day.

The few short forays out to allow the dog a walk were met with cascades of clamoring leaves and gusts of assault upon my person. My hat needed to be held, as well, and securely.

I'm grateful that I was not required to be out of doors. It was much too unpleasant for me to bear.
