Dirt, dirt, dirt!!!

I did not leave a window open. Kono didn't put dirt all over the place. This is just what I've had to deal with for three Spring times now. It can surely make me frustrated when I clean and yet find this again and again. It is really windy here in Tuba City. And the thing about it is that there are hardly any trees and no bushes, grass or plants to keep all the dirt from blowing in the area where we live. Some days it will be so bad that you don't even want to take a step outside. Last year Kono and I got eye infections from the dirt. That was very awful and I don't want it to happen again. I think this year was the worst. For two Sundays it got so bad that I was scared that the roof would blow off or something crazy like that. One Sunday I got blown like ten to fifteen feet while holding Kono's hand walking to my car after church. I have never gone blown by the wind before. I thought it only happened to people who look like sticks. I am a pregnant woman! Anyway, the worst part about dealing with the all the dirt and wind is that I can't do laundry on the really windy days because the dirt comes into the dryer. The picture above isn't at it's worst. And one time I just didn't cook cause there was dirt falling onto my stove. It came in through the unfinished stove fan (maintenance's fault). It also really comes in through our bathroom ceiling fan getting all over our sink bathroom rugs, and tub. Yuck! I've never had to deal with so much dirt in my life until we moved here but nevertheless, we are lucky to live in a nice teacher's housing. We were very fortunate enough to get into a refurbished one (there are only two). Dealing with this has also made me even more grateful for plants and trees.
