We had a heck of a storm roll through here yesterday. I had just fed the dogs, and we were in the backyard when the wind started picking up and dark clouds rolled in. It went from light to dark in minutes, actually dropping in temperature from 87 to 75 in about five minutes! As the wind whipped up, I noticed one of the boards on our fence was flapping around partially loose. Unfortunately, the DH was gone for the day and wasn’t expected home for a good while still, and I was worried that the board would fall with all the wind and obvious storm closing in. What’s a crafty gal to do?

I wrangled the dogs back inside, zipped over to my trusty yarn stash, and pulled out a scrap piece. As the first sprinkles started coming down, I raced over and tied the board back to the one next to it, and voila, safe and secure at least until DH can get out his hammer and nails.

About an hour or so later, the storm finally left and we had an inch of rain in the rain gauge and even lost one of our little pine trees.

There were sticks, bark, and pine cones all over the place, but the board was still there as was my yarn fix it. DH comes home today, so I’m curious to see what he thinks of my yarn crafting on the fence!
