We get pretty strong winds in Yarrow and my patio table fell over last night because the wind caught the umbrella and pulled everything over. I noticed it when I opened the blinds this morning and set everything upright, all the while thinking that I should put the set away for the year.

An hour later the wind caught the umbrella again, pulled the whole thing over and the table top shattered into millions of pieces as it hit the deck. I spent the next two hours trying to sweep up all the little tiny pieces and thinking now I'm going to have to buy a brand new table in the spring.

Then I suddenly realized I better take down my daughter's umbrella on her set, which is also on the deck, before the wind does th4e same thing to hers. I promptly pulled out the umbrella from the middle of her table and almost took off like Mary Poppins across the deck. The wind opened the stoopid umbrella as I was trying to lay it down on the deck. I was not impressed by idea of being lifted off the deck by a sun umbrella on it's way to turning inside out.

"In ev'ry job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap!
The job's a game.

And ev'ry task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see that

A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down
The medicine go down
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down
In a most delightful way."

The wind is calling you to come out and play. I think you should let yourself fly, Winn.

I wish. I saw a bunch of guys parasailing this summer and thought I'd like to try that but just hanging onto an umbrella without a harness is not my idea of fun.
