Re: [diesel_mercedes] Summer Fun

 

Yea, well once upon a time, summer was fun. Now living in the woods brings anxiety, health problems from breathing smoke, last summer the heavy smoke lasted weeks and weeks. We all up here keep a evac bag by the door, clothes, ect., also file box with important papers. I have a fire tank with hundreds of feet of hose, fire nozzle, pump. Just had to clean my tank because it kept plugging the nozzle, finally took the pump apart and found the remnants of what looked like a mouse, little bones and squishy stuff. Anyway I figure I can give the house a good soaking before I have to leave, hope it never happens, but well, living in the woods. I have a plan to park all my extra cars in a nice green area in front of the house and leave a sprinkler on them.  Max

No real smoke in OC, as the wind blows inland. The Idyllwild fire got real close, to the edges of town, yet the town was saved.

My folks are in "on again, off again" heavy smoke from the Ferguson Fire, going into Yosemite. The Rim fire almost got them a few years back, the Ferguson Fire isn't heading their direction.

With all these fires, it's hard to find a place for a road trip.

Hopefully you pollinated it, or the bee did it's job, so you get fruit.

The other day I came out @ 04:00 to see one of my cactus had flowered ~ it has three flower buds, this is the only one I've _ever_ seen open, it was pitch dark (oak tree shades this area) so I had to use a flash to get pic. # 1 .

Just before sunrise I came out again and the flower was beginning to close but still looked nice and had a bee looking in it for pollen .
