I was surprised yesterday morning when I looked out the window to see the hammock stand on its back against the planter… clearly the wind had lifted the umbrella and blew it over…

when I went out I saw that the umbrella on the top was perfectly fine so I took it off… the wind has been very strong since Tuesday and may continue for a number of days… a section of the edging had broken right off…

the umbrella went into the garage and I was able to put the stand back up… not going to put the umbrella back on until the weather improves…

now to arrange to have the planter repaired;-)…
