Brown

I didn't realize how depressing the color brown actually is. Living in West Texas, I have adjusted to the lack of trees, or so I thought. Two days last week it was overcast and dreary and really made me realize how much I miss green...trees, grass, anything. We are in the middle of a drought and I am beginning to wonder if it will ever rain again. Between the drought and the never ending wind, it seems like a dust bowl here. The farmers are preparing to plant, which means lots of plowing and lots of dust. When you look across the horizon there is a thick cloud of dust. Oh how I would love to escape to a tropical green paradise for a few days.
