A Good Rain

We got a fair amount of rain last night which

will reduce the dust on our roads but more

importantly reduce the risk of fires around us

Smoke Didn't Last

Yesterday was our first day

of smoky air this summer

 Fortunately canyon winds

cleared the air this morning

Horsetail "Forest"

I don't ever remember the housetails

near my cabin growing as thick or as

tall (almost 4 1/2 feet) as this year.
