Up all night, sleepless in the south- wind, rain, and chickens awake & about at midnight made me wonder what was going on. They are never awake after dark. Ever. I threw them in the hen house & shut the door. Maybe the wind had blown them off their perches? So I stayed in bed and slept in- went running home from work. Thought the wind would have died down by then. I was wrong and it was wicked windy the whole way home (except for the last .4 mile just before getting home. I thought it was blowing straight on as I ran South-west, but I was unhappy when after 3 miles, and went straight west, it just got worse. GAK! Felt like I was running in syrup. Fairly sustained winds of 20-25 mph. And it was supposed to be warm (54 degrees, but the wind made it feel more like 40).
