The Rocky Fire

We're within 10 miles of the fire line of the Rocky Fire you've been hearing about on the National News.  We've been watching the foothills to the west of us for the last 3 days.  So far they have held it back...as of right now it is 12% contained.  I do not believe we have anything to worry about...lots of green space between us and the fire (in spite of the drought) but we have lots of friends in between us and the fire.  60,000 acres up in smoke. We watch and we pray.

So so scary. I hope they have some luck getting it under control.
I'm glad you're safe, but that smoke must be unpleasant.
Hope everything will be ok.

Sue: The smoke is unbearable. The ash is covering everything. Not much getting accomplished here...I continue to water the vegetable garden and I've canned up some peaches, pickles and corn...and watch the land to the West.

Our prayers are with you.

Thank you, Steve...one of many prices we must pay to be Californians! It's looking better for us...but over 100 square miles burned as of today and several more fires further north...it's going to be a very bad year for fire, I'm afraid.
