ReplyDeleteThanks for reading my blog and leaving a comment! I enjoy reading your blog too. Have a good spring!
Sandstorms usually happen during climate change, and although they are not scary, its still pretty bad to be caught in one. It's a nightmare for people who are allergic to dust (and unfortunately I am one of them :-( )
Your blog is pretty good and interesting, keep up the good work!
