Last week the corn was cut and chopped in the field across the street. It's always nice to watch it grow and then after our view of the Coast Range has been completely blocked by 12' corn....it's good to see it go again. Following the chopping of the corn, always comes the dust with discing and planting, only this year so far......we get double or triple the dust :/. After installing a new irrigation system, the farmer who owns this property now needs to level it out so the flow of water, for flood irrigation, will now be moving east to west. Previously it was north to south. In the last few days there has been a flurry of activity, pulling out the old concrete irrigation pipe and hauling it away, and now the levelers have come. When they're finished....they will be followed by further discing and then planting for the next feed crop...usually some kind of sudan grass. Thankfully we leave for a week's vacation tomorrow....the dusting will be over by the time we return! But, for now, it's "eat my dust" all day long!

Oh, Deb, the dust you will have when you get home, I'm sorry =(. But the fun you have been having with your kids and grandson! I'ts not so bad after all.
Yes, we are livin' in the dust in the country too. Lots of spider webs too. We did have a thundershower Monday afternoon and a bit of rain Sat AM. And the flies and mosquitoes were not as bad this year.
