The Wind

Does anyone else think it's windy ALL the time. In the last year or so, it just seems that if it's cold, it's windy... if it's warm, it's windy... if it's raining, it's windy. The wind just always seems to be blowing.

I'm not sure what it is. The trees are always flailing. We have to pick up sticks and such before mowing every week. You'd think we lived along the shore somewhere.

Sometimes I don't mind it. But man, sometimes it gets annoying... and LOUD.

But I've been thinking about it. We should take advantage of the wind. Turn it into energy. Between the sun and the wind, we could save a lot of fossil fuels. Making the planet greener.

I know I'm not the first person who's thought of it. And I'm not even sure how to do that one house at a time. But I think we should put some serious thought into it. Then, instead of wondering WHY it was windy all the time, I'd pray for more wind. : )
