FIRE

THIS IS HOW SUNNY CALIFORNIA LOOKS NOW. THERE ARE OVER 100 WILD FIRES BURNING IN CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW. THE AIR IS THICK WITH SMOKE AND CINDERS. IF YOU HAVE ASMA OR ANY LUNG DISEASE, THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE. THE FIRES WERE MOSTLY STARTED BY A LIGHTENING STORM WE HAD LAST WEEKEND. WE ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE MORE LIGHTENING THIS WEEKEND. THE TEMPERATURES HAVE COOLED DOWN QUITE A BIT HERE WHICH WE ARE ALL GRATEFUL FOR AS IT SHOULD HELP THE FIREMEN DO THEIR JOB. THESE PICTURES SHOW WHAT THE AIR LOOKS LIKE ALL OVER. THE ONLY SUN WE SEE NOW DAYS IS THE SUNFLOWERS IN FRONT OF RAQUEL'S HOUSE. IMAGINE LOOKING OUT YOUR WINDOW EVERY MORNING AND BEING GREETED BY A FIELD OF SUNFLOWERS. IT'S A BIT OVERWHELMING AND BREATHTAKING. WE COME AND WE GO IN SUCH A HURRY THAT WE DON'T OFTEN TAKE THE TIME TO REALLY LOOK AT HOW WONDERFUL THEY ARE. I TRIED TO GET A PICTURE OF ANTHONY AND JEREMY TRYING TO CATCH ONE OF THEIR CHICKENS, BUT THE CHICKEN WAS TOO FAST AND MY CAMERA IS TOO SLOW. HERE IS THE CHICKEN IN CUSTODY. THEY BETTER START LAYING EGGS OR ELSE.
