Dustin’
Well, Julia mentioned it and I knew I would eventually write about it so why not now? When we lived in Montgomery we had dust. Since we moved to the country we have DUST! The dust is incredible. The road on the north side of our property is a dirt road. That is the main source of dust in my house. The source is the kids on four wheelers. Kids think it is really cool to get out on the dirt road and drive like they are in the Indy 500. They kick up as much dirt as is humanly possible. The dirt seems to always drift in the direction of our house. I can dust my house on Saturday and on Monday I can write my name on my dining room table. I think it is possible I could single handedly keep the Swiffer people in business. I take that lovely little fluffy Swiffer and run it over my dining room furniture a couple of times a week. But it comes down to the nitty gritty on the weekends. I have to get out the dust cloth and the Pledge and give every flat surface the once over. I know that all of you out there are thinking, “Who doesn’t?” I promise you when we lived in town I only got out the dust cloth and furniture polish every other week and once during the week with the Swiffer duster was sufficient. It just isn’t enough in the country. I love this house and it makes me so crazy that I can’t keep it clean!
If anyone out there has tips on keeping the dust to a minimum (other than having the dirt road paved, because that isn’t going to happen!) I’d be happy to hear about it.
Y’all come back,
Fay
