This Storm Ruined My Outdoor Curtains!

When I was coming home the other day from running an errand, I noticed something was off. Then I realized that I didn't see my curtains that grace the end of my balcony with their presence.

Remember how proud I was to reveal my outdoor room this summer? Not really? Okay, here's a reminder.
Well, one of my favorite parts of the deck remodel is the gauzy curtains. Anywhooooo, as I walked up the path toward my house the other day, I noticed that the curtains were gone. I looked all over the ground to see if they'd blown off and couldn't find them. Then I started stressing out.

But, then I looked up.
Good grief those suckers are gross and ugly now.

How the heck am I going to get those off the roof? Ha. Oh well, we'll find out pretty soon, I guess.

EEK! We wanted to do that for our porch last summer but didn't get around to it (read: didn't have the extra money after buying furniture). Maybe this year... good luck with that. Enlist a tall friend with the payment of a 6 pack of beer and dinner! :)

Sad. I really want outdoor curtains because the rain POURS on to my front porch and I thought they might keep things a little drier. dryer? drier. However, I fear mud being flung up on them and then they would look all dingy and dirty. So I guess I am waiting until summer. Hope your curtains will survive.
