Have I mentioned that it's dusty here? I have talked, yet, about the dirt? Have I described how it boils under the tires of moving vehicles, and can be so thick at times as to completely block your vision as you drive behind another car? Have I told you how, when the dogs come running to greet us in the morning, the dirt from the driveway billows behind them in clouds that come to settle on you as they jump and lick, which in turn creates more dust clouds which come to settle on you too? Have I told you that despite my love of the morning shower I have for the past 10 months been showering in the evening because I would SO MUCH rather get into bed with clean feet than go out in public with them?
Well, in case I haven't, it's all true. And I offer the following as proof:

Tire tracks in the driveway.
Layers of dirt on coffee leaves, in the middle of the yard.
My foot, 3 hours outside: 2 spent shopping (!), 1 in the yard.
Less than 24 hours since it's last cleaning, the floor in front of an open window.
Just like living in NYC.
