Dust Storm(s)

 Our front door

This first picture doesn't look like much...but there is a fine (and thick) layer of dust covering everything...we've had a few dust storms in the last couple of weeks and it's getting old, to say the least.  The sky turns orange and hazy and it looks freaky in the filtered light coming in the windows of our house!  Thankfully, our house is pretty well sealed, so we don't have much dust inside - a fine layer on everything, but not the same amount that we get outside, for sure!  We also try to keep the "garage doors" down on our windows during the dust storms to keep the dust out.  This last week we had a crazy one where it was hard to even walk out to the car with your eyes open...and the amount of dust that settles in 24 hours is INSANE!!!  Take a look at our pictures :)  Now I fully get the reason that most buildings/houses are sand colored here in Kuwait...Oh, and the only way to get rid of it outside is to wash it away with water...so, it takes FOREVER to rinse it all out because it turns to mud!

 The layer with footprints to our garage

 Our nice milk jug on our porch...with dust

 The second big sandstorm of the week and the layer covering outside again...

 And the corner pile

And what it looks like when you get in your car and turn your windshield wipers on!  It looks like wet runny mud...but it's actually perfectly dry.  Just a really fine, fine dust!
