'Windy City'

Good morning all hope you are all well.
Well the weather is still the topic of conversation here. We had really high winds Wednesday and Thursday. We woke up yesterday morning to see that the door to our Summer House had been completely blown off!! My poor hubby had to retrieve it and check out the damage. Everything in there was wet through with the driving rain. He spent last night after work trying to fix it back on.
Been raining ever since but at least the wind has died down.
When are we going to see some good weather?
 
Today sees the start of another challenge over at Totally Papercrafts.
The theme for this week as chosen by our lovely Lisa is
'Monochromatic'
 
Our fab sponsor is
 
Only got a couple of pics of mine will have to pop the others on later.
