Hard time of the year….

Hard time of the year….

 

Each year about this time.. it gets hard.. See we don’t have the normal good old summer time anymore..  I say anymore because I don’t remember it being this way when I was raising my kids here in the 1980’s..   And this year it started early, as it usually starts in August.. And we have had this going on for at least 3 weeks and the past week and half we have had it closer to us, than usual.

 

Fire season is what I am talking about .. 

This one is close.. meaning as the bird flies about 12 miles.. got another one on the other side of the valley about 30 miles away.. Neither one is put out. The poor firemen are exhausted, the pilots have been flying daily, getting water from the lake for the fires..







We all know how hard they are working to get them out. And the people are going to schools and fairgrounds for safety.. People are amazing.. person after person, putting on Facebook…   offering their trailers to haul animals to the fairgrounds.  Any help they can do, truck and trailer for taking possessions…  

In this day and age of hatred, and nastiness, it is heart warming to know there are great people out there helping in anyway to strangers..  Even with some of the nastiness over people moving here from other states is forgotten as they offer to help in any way.
