Dave, one of my avid fire watchers, excitedly called early yesterday morning. "Mom, there are no fires at all in your vicinity!" I had already noticed that there was little to no smoke in the air for a change. That, and Dave's news, finally allowed me to take a deep breath. What a relief!
I scared myself silly in the afternoon. I was in the kitchen and glanced out a window in the breakfast room. Oh no! I saw two patches of bright orange across the road on the hillside. OMG, not only fire, but fire so close to home. I thought, "Well, we're for it now." Looking closer, the patches weren't moving. Oh good grief, they were patches of sunlight, something I hadn't seen in a long time.
There's some smoke today, not bad, but there. I'm going to hold onto the good thought.
Stay safe. Be well.
