One hundred and over days


There have been a lot of wild fires here in Idaho. This plane flew over our house the other evening when I was out watering. It returned again after dumping its load. Occasionally and unfortunately we can smell the smoke in the air. My boss and his family were forced to evacuate thier home and the fire came right up to thier property but thier home was spared. It's been a dry hot summer (104 right now as I type this). It will make Fall all that more enjoyable, is what I say!

wow mary, thats close! I'm glad your boss's house was spared.

Alaska sent firefighters down there as our fires subsided. It was looking pretty hairy there for a while.

Stay cool!
