ASH IN THE AIR!

You can’t really tell in this picture HOW RED the sun is… but it is blood red and has a huge glow around it presumably from the smoke in the air. The first picture is from here at our house and the 2nd picture is 30 miles away where the smoke is much thicker, but still 2 hours away from the fire.

There are two major fires burning within a few hours of us and it’s starting to fill our valley with smoke now. Here are some pictures that I took while out and about this afternoon. In a few days when the smoke has cleared I’ll post some pictures of what these areas NORMALLY look like. You can see any of the hills or mountains right now.

The ash is just starting to fall out here at our house, but in town it was falling so heavily you could see it in the air like snow falling… speaking of which… there is snow in the forecase for this weekend and let’s pray it comes and puts these fires out! Ash on Nathan’s outdoor toy.
