It's August already!!
July started very relaxing. We had some visitors, went swimming, read some books, and even went to Girl Scout camp!
Then we watched as a big fire burned near Craig. (Thankfully the firefighters were able to put it out within a few days!)
Then lightning nearly struck Mike while he was picking tomatoes and basil in the garden! (This is us inspecting the tree later that night, to ensure it wasn't smoldering.)
And now we've been closely monitoring the Harris Mountain fire, which was indeed started by a dry lightning strike.
After about a week it's now over 27,000 acres and still barely contained. And now it's really encroaching on the Eastern edge of our neighborhood. The photo below shows the fire in red with the containment lines in black. The ginormous yellow arrow points roughly to our house and our cabin.
So if you have any prayers to spare, please send them our way - and in the direction of all the amazing firefighters out here in our neighborhood and in the West!
Hope you all have a safe and fun August!
