This is the view from our balcony towards the river that runs through the town. That big tree to the right is just outside our bedroom window and you can see the pathway that runs along the river all the way to the downtown. Our thoughts are with all the brave fire fighters who are battling in this extreme heat under very trying conditions.
- HERE is a little project that would be a great way to gift something small to a quilter or sewer.

holding the people fighting your fires and ours in the Light - we've lost three firefighters and a pilot in colorado already this season - it's a waking nightmare, innit?
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is - we are so grateful to live where there are no massive forests closeby, but that's not to say grass fires aren't a huge thing here. We worry about our #2 son and his family in BC because their house backs onto a huge forest that stretches for miles. All we can do is pray for them and for the brave fire fighters who are risking their lives every day,.
DeleteThe fires are frightening. We have unhealthy air all the way south in NJ.. It's amazing how far the smoke and smell travel. Hoping you get a break soon.
ReplyDeleteI feel so badly for the fire fighters - it must be sheer hell to work in those conditions and then there's feeling sorry for those who have lost everything - to say nothing about the animals that have lost their lives. As of this moment, they're fighting what seems to be a losing battle. We pray for lots of rain (but NO lightning!).
