Dust Storm




It's Labor Day weekend which means it is also the East Adams County Fair and Rodeo in Ritzville. There is an unwritten law that you cannot have a fair in Ritzville without a dust storm to go along with it. And sure enough, long about 3:30 this afternoon, the wind started coming up and the dust blew! The wind gusts were strong enough to shake Auntie Violet a bit! About five o'clock it started to quiet down and now (at 7:45) it has started to rain.
We weren't too ambitious this morning. I think we have one day with lots of activity and busyness, then the next one is a lazy day. We did go into Moses Lake after lunch and got some dishwasher soap for Forry's new toy. We spent some time at Home Depot trying to find a new connector for the dishwasher hose without any luck. When we got back to the ranch, Forry got out his grinder and made the one we had fit. The dishwasher is at this very moment running its first load of dirty dishes...
