Eva’s Byte #382 – Dust
This week I’m dwelling on dust. It’s everywhere! Not to the extent of the devastating Dust Bowl depicted in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath, but it’s prevalent enough. As every state in New England is experiencing a “flash drought,” the upheavals of breaking ground for a new apartment complex next door, and the process of repaving Route 114 have intensified the distribution of dust.
Dust settles on windowsills and leaves a sandy patina on vehicles in the parking lot. Diligent landscapers brandishing leaf blowers further stir the pot.
Dust, be gone!
You might say, I’m waiting for the dust to settle through the hope of much needed rain to replenish reservoirs, reduce the occurrences of wildfires, stem crop loss, and nourish threadbare lawns. Lo and behold, bouts of downpours over the course of two days brought some relief—in addition to flash flooding.
In the capacity of a writer, dust has settled in the draft of chapter 17 (1726 words) of my Contemporary work in progress. I’m stirring the pot as I draft chapter 18 (304 words thus far).
*May each of us let the dust settle before making major decisions.
My sincere appreciation for reading this far.
