Smoke and Ashes
Although we are 75 miles away here in Hollister, our skies are filled with smoke and ashes. Locals are driving the fire department crazy with terrified phone calls, fearing the worst. My heart is with those who are actually in the line of fire. May this be over quickly, with everyone--fire fighters, residents, dogs and horses--safe.
Amazing...I was just on the verge of posting the VERY same photo! The smoke here in Santa Cruz is bad. We have the windows and doors closed, and we're not going outside. I can't imagine how it is for people actually IN the mountains...
In my life I've waited tables, raised sons, taught school, published books, and railed at politicians. I'm building a house, next to my son, where I can spend time with my granddaughter. I read, write, and dream about being immortal.
