Weather report:  Windy with a chance of flying Snoopy flags.  Take cover!

I have a small garden flag holder half way up the stairs from my lower deck to the top deck.  I change the flag for most seasons and special occasions, and currently my Snoopy/Woodstock ‘jump in the leaves’ flag was on display.

Until tonight.

I went outside to throw a can in the recycle container, and alas!  No flag!  I got the flashlight and tramped around the yard, peeked under the deck, and checked in the bushes by the fence.  No flag! 

Needless to say, this is very disconcerting!  I will look in the daylight tomorrow, but two years ago my Valentine flag blew away in a ‘micro-burst’ as it traveled through Ft. Allen.  I even had the fall flag clipped to make sure it would NOT blow off.  I think the rabbit that lives under my bottom deck secretly snuck off with the flag and is either using it as a blanket or has it hung in his study. 

So if you are anywhere around Hempfield High School and see a blue and brown fall garden flag flying through the air, grab on to it and let me know.  Because for now, I have no flag!!!
