Whining About Wind

Dust still in the air from last night's winds
I shortened our morning trek for two reasons today:  first, I had to go shopping at Target and Albertsons in order to restock staples for the ranch; and, second, I wanted to beat the wind which was supposed to make a return appearance in the later morning hours.  Becca and I managed to get in a nice hike before the gusts picked up, and I was able to do the morning shopping and get home prior to the sandblasting.  Now (about 2:20 p.m.) the wind is whipping like crazy.  Dust and sand are swirling in the desert air.
