Red Flag Warning and Wind Advisory!
National Weather Service is warning that there will be blowing dust! Well, there's been blowing dust for months, but I have to say that today is especially windy.
And not a prevailing, steady wind from one direction, the wind today is "snaky" and coming from every which-way. So we aren't getting any real electricity out of it.
The worst part is that the gusts blow our yard items around like crazy. We are working on clearing a spot to build a shed, but for now much of our stuff is just sitting out waiting to be put away. And just when you think you've battened down all the hatches and secured everything in the yard, something gets grabbed by a dust devil and spat out a hundred yards away. There I am standing in front of the window thinking, "oh yeah, of course that would blow away. Why didn't I put that away better?"
Oh well, we'll spend today at home working on estimates and orders, and chasing after flying debris.
Thanks so very much for the map coordinates. Now I have a much better understanding of where you are other than somewhere in the Alpine zip code. Love you.
