Weather

We had some much-needed rain about ten days ago--1.25" or so. What a blessing for the whole area! Of course, it's hard to tell now that we had any.

Yesterday afternoon, the sky darkened and some strong winds came through. The "mountains" in front of us looked hazy, so we figured they were getting rain (which occasionally happens). However, with a harder look, 15yo daughter realized it wasn't rain: it was dust! Yes, we had a mild dust storm, I guess. And no rain. Not a drop.

Better go; we're doing carrot relish this morning, something we've not done before. But then, I don't think we've ever grown carrots before, either, at least not very successfully. This year, we don't know what to do with them all!
