Very windy and wet

It was as if we were punished for the nice weekend we had. The weather that had been lovely, warm and autumnal over the weekend turned windy, cold and wet. There were times when the rain kept tapping against the Windows in the office, reinforced by the wind. Currently the wind is howling and the tall sunflower that unexpectedly grew so tall on the balcony is now swaying dangerously in the wind. I hope it survives the gusts.
