Late yesterday afternoon the wind started blowing and it hasn’t stopped yet. As the dinnertime ferry was pulling out I wondered how it would fare in the stormy weather. It didn’t seem to be making its usual stormy weather run so it was probably okay. The evening ferry didn’t run but we weren’t surprised; I don’t think I’ve ever seen swells like that so close to the terminal. Some trees were down around town and there were some power outages; apparently a tree fell through the roof of a mobile home in Wildwood. I saw on Facebook there were reports of damage to some of the boats in the harbour.

It has been windy all day today, although not quite as bad. I hung my clothes on the line this morning and I expect they are drying well in the wind. I noticed one shirt was wrapped around the line so hopefully I’ll be able to pull them in okay.

I spent some time looking through recipes; I’m going to try three completely new recipes so hopefully none will be failures. This afternoon I picked up the ingredients I need but I won’t bake until Friday morning as we are off to the Island tomorrow to do some Costco (and embroidery floss) shopping. I’m looking forward to riding on the new ferry. Hopefully the wind won’t keep us on either side of the Strait longer than we want.

I’ve spent a bit of time today quilting a project; it is one that I’ve been putting off for far too long and it is actually going quite well. It is a gift so no sneak peeks here until it has been received at the other end.

Now I’d better get my clothes in off the line before they blow away!
