Two birds with one stone

In the super strong winds a few weeks ago, a piece of greenhouse plastic came loose from one of the hoophouses. (That hoophouse seems to be cursed, which is a story for another post.) Anyway, yesterday, Cornelia and I cut off the plastic which had been flapping since then and tacked it down inside the first greenhouse. Henry's squirming and is not enjoying sitting on my lap so I won't try to explain now why we're tacking it to the floor of the greenhouse - hopefully later.

Peter was with the kids, mostly inside, and we were communicating via walkie talkie. At one point I called him to say, hey look out the window I think the plastic is about to go sailing into the road. Just as we had gotten about 90% of it cut off, the wind really picked up and I thought it would get away from us. Thanks to Cornelia's quick thinking and hustle though, it didn't actually sail away.
