What did you do in the garden today?

[Acre4Me]

4 pear trees planted. All bare root. Two had a good amount of roots. Another had less, but ok amount of roots. Last one.. hardly any roots, so we shall see how it fares. Only some leaf buds on one tree, the other three look like just emerging from dormancy, with some green tips. We achieved them with one stake put into the ground st an angle (so roots not disturbed). Now we hope they acclimate and live.

Me too. Our state is drying up. This wind is crazy! Tomorrow is worse!!!

I got caught in a dust bowl style wall of debris in one of the blows this morning and couldn't get what blew in one of my eyes OUT. I drove my load of sticks to the county dump and then went to the eye doctor for help. I had flushed them 5 times and still couldn't get stuff out. He dyed my eye and went digging. NO CLUE what all it was. I'm sure it was road grit and field chaff. He said I had pieces stuck to my cornea. OMG it was driving me NUTS.
Now it burns and I have to use drops for several days and go back for a scratch check.
I HOPE the models hold and we get PLENTY of rain Sun-Wednesday.

One of my barn squares finally fell victim to UV, rain, and massive hail. I took the old one down and have spent the past three days working on a new one. I'll let it cure all night and start with the clear coat layers tomorrow.

Oh geez- that's awful!! I have my cornea imbedded before and it is painful . Take care because tomorrow is worse. Good day to stay inside. All our trees are losing there leaves from the strong winds. We really need rain. Slow, steady rain so it doesn't run off our hard packed dirt.

Can't stay in, have ranch-y stuff to do. I just didn't see the wall of dust coming. Normally I catch it and turtle into my gator or shirt, but I was distracted.
It's so flipping dry and there's no crops yet to hold all the soil, plus they're out there planting and loosening it all, the wind just grabs it.
I caught a photo after the main dust cloud blew though and the air cleared. See that nasty air just above the horizon?
