School began this week. (Goodbye, once again, summer...) And so did "The Rim Fire". If you haven't heard, The Rim Fire is a huge fire burning at the northwest edge of Yosemite National Park. The smoke has been blowing into our area for several days now and at times we have seen little bits of ash.
All outdoor events have been cancelled and we try to stay indoors as much as possible. (Can you see the sun behind Eggs on Toast and Junior?--below)
It is an enormous fire and hardly contained at all (our prayers go to those who live nearby the fire and those fighting it) and no forecast for a shift in the wind until the end of next week.
Thankfully the outside temperatures have not been very hot so keeping the windows shut has not created unpleasant interior temperatures (we do not have AC).
