Wind

This is the Oregon coast.  The wind is a factor here.  It is always a part of the equation that makes up the weather that thousands of folks came to enjoy.  We are in our third week here now and have had experienced the extremes of wind.  Tuesday, for example, was one of wind.  We woke up to the sound of wind through the trees and as the day continued that sound increased.  By mid-day the wind velocity was approaching 30mph with higher gusts.  Late afternoon, saw the wind remain at 32-33 mph and gusts to 40mph.  Luckily, the lighthouse is not open on Tuesday because it would have been difficult for the public and the volunteers to cope with them.
   Wednesday was totally different.  We woke up to silence.  No wind in the trees.  During the day, it was almost non-existant.  It makes me think of the song, "What a difference a day makes....."
