Shar- How is everything there?

I know you're not on the mainland, but the news reports are sounding more and more grim?
They are talking of curtailing travel to Vancouver. I would think that the air must be quite thick in Victoria, too.

I wish we could send lots and lots of rain your way....
Thinking of you and your family and friends and especially your son. Hope he comes home soon.

We are extremely dry here and there are patches on the median coming into the city that have been burned, but so far (touch wood) we are safe and sound. All trails and back country are closed throughout southern BC and Alberta and most parks, etc. in the cities. We are expecting showers on Saturday, but in all honesty, I don't think it will be much. We've had 2 "showers" in the last 2 months and it lasted for about 1/2 hour!!! Air quality here is still pretty good though. It was a relief to get home and breath some fresh air!
And the best news is...my ds is home safely for now.
Thanks for asking.

I remember last summer when we had fires burning way up North, the haze carried so far South. It was so eerie to see everything with an orange glow.
It has to be mighty scary to anyone living near it.
Take care and enjoy the presence of your DS..

I wish I could send some of our downpours up that way to help out. We missed getting rain for just a few days, and plants were already shriveling from the summer heat. Hopefully, the rains you're expecting will be greater and longer than the previous ones. Seems there's always extremes of weather instead of a happy medium. It's hurricane season down here through Oct., so we're praying we won't have one of those.
Take care.

She was also fighting the fires that hit Montana a few years ago. She goes wherever and whenever she's needed. She's also a forest ranger.
The methods used to fight fires in a forest are very different from fighting fires in buildings.
Hope all the fires come to an end soon.

We will keep your niece in our prayers. I have the utmost respect for all those who step up to protect others. I hope that the predictions are wrong and that there will be lots and lots of rain to quench those fires and that she will soon return safely home.
