This is fine

[boxofdelights]

The Cameron Peak fire grew from 34,000 acres to 90,000 over the weekend. Ash is falling gently. The sun is an orange spot you have to be careful not to look at. I have two extra dogs because their house is in the fire area: They're waiting for their people. Their people are fine. So are the horses and cattle. We don't know about the house. Jessie's looking out the front window:


Sue's got the front door covered:


Newt thinks they smell funny. Dutch wants them to play with her. They are both quite old and not interested in shenanigans.

Sunday it got up to 98 degrees Fahrenheit. Monday night it started to snow. The snow should slow the fire down, but it is only 4% contained.

I got some basil, tomatoes, and peppers, and covered the plants, but this might be the end of summer:

Lookit that harvest! Wow!

We were choked out by smoke earlier this week, though most of it came from Utah and CA rather than up north by you. Finally started to rain yesterday, though, whee! Hopefully the snow is accumulating in the mountains, and on the fires.

They say 6-12 inches have fallen, and it's still falling.

Every new climate disaster in California, I think, that's our future. But I hope not for a while yet.

TWO ACDs on watch will ensure that nothing bad happens to you.

Very impressive harvest.

Sending you strength.

Jessie and Sue!

From 98 to snow? There must have been some serious winds when that happened.

We've got the smoke but not the snow. May all of us stay safe.

Those poor dogs must be so confused about their life right now! But I'm glad yours are not unduly disturbed by the intrusion. And what lovely vegetables you've brought in before the cold.

Yay doggos.

Mmm the harvest looks tasty.

Glad that everyone you know got away from the fires okay.
