After we wash the dishes and put them away, so much dust sifts into the cupboards we must wash them again before the next meal. Clothes in the closets are covered with dust. Last weekend no one was taking an automobile out for fear of ruining the motor. I rode Roany to Frank's place to return a gear. To find my way I had to ride right beside the knee scarcely able to see from one knee post to the next.
Newspapers say the deaths of many babies and old people are attributed to breathing in so much dirt.
The dirt is still blowing. Bud and I helped with the cattle and had fun gathering weeds. Weeds give us greens for salad long before anything in the garden is ready. We use dandelions, lamb's quarter, and sheep sorrel. Also, the leaves of sheep sorrel, pounded and boiled down to a paste, make a good salve.
