The week goes by so fast, that it almost confuses me.
I keep thinking it's Thursday...
- The Kennedy Fire we had yesterday is contained - to 35 acres. It was a fright because of what happened back in 2018. It burns in the old burn scar, making it easier to control and fight. They use these hoses to place around the diameter of the smaller fires.
- The heat hasn't let up - yesterday around 111 and today is supposed to get up to 107. It's humid for us at 26%. We can definitely feel it. I went to the store today early and everyone was commenting on how muggy it is.
- Foodie's Juiced Bike was delivered - and the husband put it together for him yesterday. Nice looking bike. Foodie spent the afternoon hanging out with us and that is always nice.
- The husband has been out in the early morning scraping the side of the trim where the sun bakes it dry - He patched scraped, patched yesterday, and then painted today. He has another side that needs that done so he'll do that Monday.
- The lamp is coming along but I haven't finished yet - probably next week. I want to order the 2 new lamp shades as well before taking a photo.
ONE YEAR AGO
These photos came up on my google photos -
This was the fire last year that almost gutted Lassen Volcanic National Park.
The Dixie Fire.
With many fires in an area - you're going to be inundated with smoke.
The smoke gets trapped here - we're at the very north end of the Central Valley -
Foodie took these photos -
I will say, they are nice photos.
The bottom of the photo is the Aquatic center - by the river.
You can see where the one pool was being resurfaced.
I remember that day - It was surreal.
That's about it for me today. I hope you all have exciting plans or not, for this coming weekend. I'd love to get out and boogie but I'm so tired of the heat - we'll probably just lay low at home.
So warm there, I would melt! Those are some smoky photos...wildfires are just awful.
ReplyDeleteYour husband painted in that heat, oh my! I can't imagine but I guess it has to get done sometime.
ReplyDeleteThose fire and smoke pictures are terrifying to me. I hope the fire that is contained is out soon.
I am so thankful to hear that the fire has been contained. Praying for you all out there in that heat. Those pictures are really scary...I would hate to live in such smoke. That must be terrible for people especially those with respiratory issues already. Wow. Please stay safe and cool inside. I can't even imagine it being that hot even with the heat we have here. (((Hugs))) to you all. Although you probably wouldn't want a hug when it is so hot! LOL.
ReplyDeleteStunning photos! I am so glad the fire is now under control.
ReplyDeleteDearest Debby,
ReplyDeleteJust too bad all those wild fires.
Wish we could send some of the rains over to your end!
Your husband is smart for using the early morning hours to do such jobs.
That's why we started around 4:00 AM in the greenhouses (hot–houses) before the sun would be too strong and temps around 120°F.
Never forget that the world's biggest population is right around the equator; so people DO live in hot areas and stay active.
Living and working in Indonesia we did rise early at 5:00 AM and living the tropical schedule as that was right on the equator as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
Glad to hear the fire has been contained. Weeks fly by for me too, amazingly fast.
ReplyDeleteJust having enjoyable weekend around home.
Hubby must have been roasting working like that in the heat! Glad they managed to contain the fire. All that smoke! Wow!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just found your blog today from a comment you left on another blog mentioning you live in northern CA. I live a bit south of you in CA but not too far south. The fires have been so scary in recent years and make the air quality lousy. I have two air purifiers in my house which help. Stay safe and cool.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update on the fire, Debby. They are so scary. It's going to be a hot week there for you. In the 90's up in the mountains this week. It's smart that your husband is out there working in the early mornings. Also, thank you for your big font that you used today on your post. I wish more of my blog friends used bigger font. Blogs are sometimes hard to read with these tired eyes.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week. Stay safe. The smoke is probably getting to you about now.
