(Nearly) Wordless Wednesday: The Winds They Were A-Blowing

Our weather was particularly blustery this week, resulting in dusty skies, freeway closures, . . .

 

and a greater-than-usual tumbleweed accumulation. 
 





Thanks for the calm after the storm.

    It's almost as if you are on a different planet from me. What do you do with all of that tumbleweed?

    I've never seen a real life tumbleweed before. Cool! I hope the winds die down soon for you. We are expecting another snowstorm starting tonight! UGH.

    I have never seen that ever... WOW!!! Where does that come from?... I got an idea... why don't you save them wrap some Christmas lights around them and use them as a center piece or Make one big giant one and use it in the entry way during Christmas...

    Looks like what we got. Did you have the 80mph winds too? Crazy and yes, tumbleweeds everywhere!

    Thank you so much for visiting my blog!

    That's a lot of tumbleweeds! The wind was nasty here in Saint George as well and it's not helping AT ALL with my allergies. :(

    Sounds real silly, but I LOVE those tumbleweeds!! When I saw my first one rolling over the road it felt só ..... American!! Used to watch lots of western movies and they were always rolling through the town.

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another...

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this...
