Rain?

Cloudy again today, no good light to paint. We did get a sprinkle
yesterday. Rain predicted, but I'll believe it when it falls.

Phillip picked the blackberries in the garden again. Going to make
syrup like last time. So good on pancakes.

Did you see the Mueller fiasco? Mueller acted just like a kid who had
a book report that his Mother wrote for him, and then he had to tell
about it in class. Couldn't do it. Made him look, Stupid. Tuff
stuff.

River

Went down to the river yesterday, Still a bit of water flowing. Much
more like a creek than a river. Lots of little dark particulates all
over the place. Must have fallen out of the massive high colum of
smoke that billowed up. At one point the fire was only a couple of
miles away. Lots of people back in that area. 2 communities, One
active gold mine, 6 very large ranches and a vineyard. Fire still not
contained, but wind has died down a lot. More thunderstorms predicted.
Hope no more fires.

fire

Cellar fire still burning. FS just watching it burn. A lot of it
that was only in brush has burned itself out, but it is in some
juniper timber now. Has grown in a long swath, because of the wind.
Now fire is more than 30 miles from us and sill in a easterly
direction for the most part. Wind blowing from the SW right now.

Been a while since the last post.  Jeannine and Mary have had birthdays since then.

Have a forest fire going not too far from the town of Wilhoit. About 10 miles as the crow flies.  Good thing, the wind has been in our favor for the last few days,  Blowing the smoke and the fire away from us.  One town has been evacuated. Fire is burning toward an area that was burned a couple of years ago.  Mostly brush and junipers in this area.  FS is not fighting the fire, they are letting it burn.  Just hope the wind don't switch because the area North of the fire is in very heave ponderosa pine forest.
 
Down by the river.  Flowers are purple, but don't show up too good in the pic.
