The Fifth Season Is Off To An Early Start

Not real close to the fires, but the air has been smoky and bothering my eyes. Not so bad considering some people are losing their homes..... I shouldn't complain about itchy eyes.

I hope so much that no firefiighter will be killed on his duty!

Barbara you are right. We have the hottest summer here since the beginning of weather recordings in 1881 - and I am suffering from severe circulation problems, insomnia and tinnitus for nine weeks now, but the loss of a home is much much worse!

Sad news, but unfortunately we had to reckon with that. The wildfire is so big and there are so many firefighters. Prayers sent to family and friends...!

Very big and getting bigger. 65,000 acres (26,300 hectares) and only 12% contained. And it's not alone.
