About Me

My photo
NSW, Australia
My family is everything to me - husband and three grown children. Eldest son just married in April 2013. My daughter is also now engaged. I have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Rusty is my old fellow and we also now have Brea who is a Devil. I love craft. I am into patchwork, painting and just discovered ATC's and tags and now Zentangles. But with no sight in my left eye and limited sight in the other sometimes it can get tiring. I spend way too much time on the computer. But couldn't do without my internet friends.

Wild Dusty Windy Day

 

Wow!!  Woke this morning to the most incredible sight.  The most intense red sky you have ever seen.  At first I thought .

“What an incredible sunrise!  Then  - No, it cant be – it is just not natural.  That has got to be dust.

And sure enough it was.  And the most amazing wind to go with it.

Of course this has totally upset the dogs, well not so much Rusty, more so Tia.  She hates wind at the best of times.  But today the wind has really been blowing and that combined with the dust has really unsettled her. 

You can smell and taste the dust it is quite unpleasant.  It has just covered everything in a fine red film.Dust over Park 6am

The dust is not so thick now but the wind is still ripping through and I just hate windy days.  It is just past noon and the dust is still there but looks just like a cloudy day.

Tomorrow I might even catch up on some of my doings from the last couple of months – boy have I been slack with this blog.
