Eva’s Byte #406 – Nitty-Gritty Sand

Part of my housework regimen includes wiping windowsills. I skipped that routine during the arctic blast that breezed into the Northeast on Feb. 3rd and 4th, plummeting temperatures to subzero. On the 5th, during a heat wave of 42 degrees, I opened the windows just enough to clean the sills.

Each one was covered with a layer of gritty sand, the consistency of a Sahara windfall.

What gives?

The arctic blast swept through with wind gusts pushing 40 – 55 mph, making child’s play of kicking up a fuss from the construction site on the hill behind my building.

With the week’s temperatures forecasted to be in the upper 40s and even low 50s, I look forward to those typical, sporadic sightings of hardy natives going about their day wearing shorts and flip-flops.

After all, February is the border between winter and spring. I’ll soon be packing away my decorative snowmen for next winter’s safekeeping.

In the capacity of a writer, I’ve gotten down to the nitty-gritty of finishing the draft of chapter 27 (1912 words) in my Contemporary work in progress. I’m ready to kick up dust drafting chapter 28.

?*May each of us get down to the nitty-gritty of attaining our goals.

?My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
