Here's the dirt

 In the field next door, work has begun. The first step seems to be moving and leveling dirt. The ground is really dry so it's all powdery dirt.

So, each day has been noisy equipment and a lot of airborne dirt drifting over and settling in my yard.

All this taking place over lovely sunny fall days, pretty much keeping me inside the house.

Sheesh! They must have every piece of equipment they own over there making dirt storms!

Everything was dirt covered...my cars, my outdoor furniture, the grass, even a light film of dirt on my windows.

I kept wishing for rain, but no, it really was a stretch of beautiful dry fall days.

It was one of those things that I couldn't change, so I just had to accept it.

Might as well just plunk down in my dirty patio chair and prop up my dirty shoes, socks, and jeans on my dirty glass table after a walk around the yard in the evening.

It was a real relief when things started winding down and I noticed they were cleaning out a dump truck.

On a more cheerful note, another beautiful sunrise. I never get tired of seeing them.

Actually this is an advantage to the trees being cut down next door. I can see this part of the early morning sky.

Yep, more soup! Cabbage soup this time...with ham, carrots, and onions.

Here's Puss, doing a nice Halloween cat pose.

I never have Trick or Treaters here. It would be kind of fun to see the kids in their costumes, but I don't envy those in neighborhoods where they buy many, many bags of candy to hand out!
