Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

A storm came through last night that really whipped up the winds. 

Strong enough to tip over my wisteria arbor!  This thing is anchored in the ground and the wisteria trunk, at the base, is at least 6" in diameter.  Luckily, it doesn't look like the plant was hurt, but now we're going to have find a much more hearty anchoring system...ugh...

I learned from experience  that you cannot let those things get top heavy. So sorry it went down for you. What if when you rebuild you do a partial fence on each side as an anchor.?

This is how I anchor mine down....from old house. I built a partial fence on both sides.

Those are cute ideas, though the space I have in the center garden is limited.   I do have some wrought iron fencing though.

You don't have to make it as big as I did but it would give it more support.

That must have been quite a strong windstorm you had up there.  It was just very windy here with rain on and off.

Just down the road from us a huge cedar was uprooted and came down across the road.  The county crew was still out cleaning it up when we left for work today.

Sunshine, the wisteria trunk is about 4 foot tall and the vines on the top of the arbor seem thick, but they have been thinned and cut back considerably, that's why I was surprised it toppled over.

I guess you just had one heck of a strong wind gust.
