Fire danger in Texas
The newscast said east Texas has forest wild fires.
We are sending purrs for rain to help put them out. We are also purring for the safety of those who fight the fires. MLB |

Can't remember the name, but it meant nothing where I came from (about a rose emerging from frozen ground) it means a lot here, LOL. Song: The Rose I haven't heard it in years. I always liked it.

There are wild fires in most counties of the state (but nothing close to me, at this point--not even smoke). MaryL Glad you're ok. I live on outskirts of MileHigh but in urban setting nowhere near any of the fires, but if the fires are large enough (and two are) the strong winds bring us the gifts of smoke smell and fog (I like fog; English people I knew told me that was what gave them their beautiful complexions). Too late for that for me, but any moisture is good moisture around here. One fact adding to the dry situation is CO's "snowpack" in the mountains was very high where they go skiing (the famous resorts) but very *low* snowpack on the part that MileHigh gets its water supplies from runoffs of the snowpacks in warm weather. Now the water cops (do you believe) will be patrolling lawn-watering. Luckily they don't patrol condo decks; Snaggly and I now have an array of geraniums out there already. Here in SLC it is a wet, dark and cold day. TuTu just ran to the sliding glass door in the computer room. I told her she could go out for a few minutes and opened the door. She sniffed the cold, damp air and said "I'll stay in where it is warm". Flood warnings and some actual flooding in the northern cities. Lawns, basements are at risk although people have been preparing to divert the water. |
