Tumbling Tumbleweeds! T’is the season for gusting winds and blowing dust, or as we call it in west Texas, “sandstorm.” Now those were pretty vicious occurrences in my old stomping grounds of far West Texas. The wall of red could be seen as one of those sandstorms approached and then all would be dark as it hit, and for days the sun couldn’t be seen. Sometimes it was difficult to see across the street. Breathing normally was a bit difficult and playing outside was not happening! Rain is often sporatic in the Spring so everything dries up and the dry dirt joins the wind as it cuts through the landscape and pollutes the air.
