Thank you! Except for being hard to breathe with all the smoke, the fire in our area is pretty much out, but the other ones are growing. Geez, and it’s still so hot!
Luckily, our neighborhood didn’t have to be evacuated, the winds changed and blew the fire in a different direction. Today the air quality is really bad from all the other fires.
It smells so smoky out there today, but it’s a bit cooler. I feel so bad for everyone who lost their homes, we wonder how all the fires got so big so fast.
wow. I’ved been watching news reports and praying for you folks in the midst of the inferno. I have several folk In the blogosphere near your area and just am keeping my fingers crossed for you all – safety of self and home. I’m so neurotic, I ‘d have to have stuff stacked by the door and ready to throw in the car to evacuate with. I found 4 bushel baskets of shells in my mother’s stuff – shells we had picked up during years of trips to the beach. one basket was nothing but different sizes of perfect sand dollars. my husband told me I didn’t need them. Well, the baskets of shells now live at my house.
Dang… that’s pretty close.

Still hot… but, supposed to cool off this afternoon and stay cool through next week. (Well, low 70’s instead of high 90’s… I’ll take it.)
