Almost blown away

We returned from Alamosa yesterday and sat out on the patio. It was not long and the wind started blowing out of the east! We don't normally get the wind from the east but it started blowing and we had to batten down the hatches! 
Our porch faces east and when the wind comes from that direction we really feel it. And if that was not enough it started raining. We have no protection from the rain so we had to call it a day and retreat to the indoors. It did not last long but being that late in the day we decided to call it a day and stay inside.
I watched the "Five" and a few HGTV shows and then kicked back in the recliner and off to sleep. 
Not a bad day except having to pay for an oil change. At least that does not come around but twice a year...
