Wind damage.

The other afternoon, out of the blue, we got one heck of a storm and wind. Lots and lots of wind. (Someone in our household) didn't put the umbrella down when he went inside, and the wind picked up table/umbrella and all and turned it upside down in our courtyard. Of Course the umbrella got caught on my Shepard's hook. Now I want to say "MY Roof's got a hole in it and I might drown." Oh, my I guess it is my umbrella doesn't look nearly as nice as it did when I redid the cover last year.
Plus this time it broke a spoke let alone tearing the huge hole in it. So it is beyond repair. (Makes me sad) I worked so hard on that project when the other cover needed replacing. Now, it looks like crap.

THEN:




Sigh, ......so I guess when the weather starts to get cold and I would normally bring it in for the winter, I shall have to carry it down to the dumpster and stash it to it's grave.
