WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES. AKA- A mouthful of dirt.

Yesterday we had wind gusts up to 70 m.p.h.
I think I'll have to invest in one of those devices that measures how hard the wind is blowing.
Man...talk about dirt in air....ew.
When ya went outside your teeth were gritty...well...uh...keep your mouth closed.
There was a local baseball tournament yesterday.
Bet it was hard going...either trying to pitch into the wind or hit into the wind.
The trash cans were blowing around and empty flower pots etc.
Ya gotta prepare when a "blow" is coming....tie up the wind chimes, put away the lawn chairs etc. etc.
Goggles anyone?

I was at the post office yesterday and the wind held the door open for a few seconds after someone entered.
A cute little dog came trotting in and was nosing around.
A man who was conducting business at the counter turned and saw him and said: "HEAH! Now TATER...yew git on back out thar into the truck....go on!"
Tater went.

Today is calm and sunny and beautiful.
I started planting flowers in all my various pots.
The tips of our trees are turning green...but not the mesquites.
Spring is sprung...Happy Easter.

Love, Mary
