These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

Breathtaking, beautiful and deadly

No, that title doesn't apply to me!

A quick post before I head off to work.

I got a little over 1/4 inch of rain last night! Yippeee skippeeeee!! It's not a lot, but my ground is wet, and hopefully it helped the fire fighters a bit. I know where the fire is still burning hot, it didn't matter, but perhaps it helped a bit to slow fresh burn. I hope so.

Here are a few photos, not mine, from the internet. They give some perspective, I think, to the events preceding the ones I took and posted here yesterday. 


Live "candles." My heart aches at this.



This next one just blows my mind. It is beautiful, a night photo of the fire, but it is also scary. Hold your breath ......



Adds perspective, doesn't it?

  5. RET, yes, it is. Yesterday the containment was at 50%. I haven't heard, can't find a more recent estimate. I do hope it comes to an end soon. It seems no homes or lives are at risk now, but it needs to be finished.
