We had a wild windstorm in our area last night, gusts above 60 mph, in the house it sounded like the Hounds Of Hell were racing through the pasture. Our barn stood up well, so did the farmhouse. Some slate tiles blew off of both of our buildings, and Ed Gulley’s Tin Man, the new symbol of the farm, was taken down by the wind.

That must have been some wind, the Tin Man, like the man who created him, is strong and formidable. We’re not sure if there is much damage, it looks like his left shoulder bore the brunt of the fall. We might need a house call from the creator, we’ll wait to move him until the ground softens up a bit. The Tin Man shall rise again.
