Doesn't it figure that the windiest, rainiest days happen in Cloverdale on Fridays - the day we're scheduled for garbage and recycling pick up?
I got my garbage can and blue recycle box out early this morning but neither one of them is full or heavy enough to hold it down in the storm. After running into the street to pick up my recycle box and having to pick up my garbage can, I weighed both of them down with bricks. But I see garbage cans and blue boxes all over the street, or more accurately blowing across the street and ending up in a neighbor's yard.
Fortunately both our collections came early enough today and within minutes of each other that I was at home and able to bring the can and box back to safety.
A few months ago I lost a lid to one of my garden waste garbage cans in a furious wind storm. Even though I hunted the neighborhood looking for it, I didn't find it.
Here's hoping that it may blow back to my yard today. Or one just like it!
