Beautiful Day Today, Bracing for Ugly

Today was a great day in the desert. Up early and took and long walk. Got out and did some chores around the outside.
Fastened the tire covers so that they won't blow away in the stiff winds that are forcast for tomorrow. Swept the patio off and made pizza for lunch. They say 60 mph gusts will start in the morning.
I hope we don't have any problems, we have a full tank of water, so that will add some weight. I got out this afternoon and went in to Casa to the gym, since I probably won't go out tomorrow. Won't make any plans to go anywhere until it straightens up a bit. I sure don't want to get caught in the notorious dust storms that happen around here. So far this winter there have been two with fatalities, one a few miles south of here, and then the really bad one that was on Good Morning America that killed 4 and burnt up some semis. That one was just a couple miles north of here. I 10 is a fast dangerous road all day every day and I can't imagine being on there in blowing dust. You couldn't tell the dust could get bad today however, it was beautiful. Some of our trees are laden down with fruit.
This lemon tree is directly across the street from us. I need to go find the grapefruit tree. Eating that grapefruit today was as good as eating candy! We'll batten down the hatches and ride out the storm tomorrow and maybe friday. Another adventure!
