Dust "Storm"

Today was so nice outside that this afternoon when I took my DaisyMae outside, I decided to sit out there for awhile and enjoy it. Two others and I were chatting together when one of the construction workers on our parking lot decided he needed to take his big leaf blower to blow all the dirt off the construction area. Since it was dry, it kicked up a bit of a dust storm that ended up chasing us all away. They did a wonderful job on the new sidewalk and built the edge of the parking lot up to the same level as the sidewalk so that it is truly handicapped accessible. Now they just have to finish covering it all and paint in the parking spaces. But they are not finished yet. They are supposedly going to do the same with the other sidewalk. I am not sure if they are going to keep those parking spaces marked handicapped or not, though. They should. We need them. But it has been quiet for the past couple of days. I decided after the dust "storm" that DaisyMae and I would go out this evening and spend some nice time enjoying the weather. The weather fooled us though. It was raining. Boo.

It sounds like you had a nice time enjoying the weather earlier, despite the unexpected "dust storm." It is great to hear that the construction is making things more accessible, although it is unfortunate that the rain interrupted your plans for the evening. Hopefully, you'll have another opportunity to enjoy the nice weather soon!

That's the only drawback with those blowers. They do make a lot of dust.

It's good that the parking is made more accessible. Sorry your outing was cancelled by the rain. Have a good weekend.
