Nice neighbors

When you live on an island, you should really check on what the weather is supposed to bring on a very regular basis. Especially if you are going out of town, in which case you should not only check, but also take any appropriate action, such as securing loose outside objects if wind is expected.

This past weekend, "should" was the operative word...we went out of town and did none of the above. Whoops.

Apparently there was a small storm of some sort, which brought high winds to the island. Luckily for us, we have terrific neighbors. Someone did us the favor of taking down the umbrella in our outside (glass) table.

I'm not sure who it was, but I'm certainly grateful. And next time I'll check the weather before running off for a day and a half!
