As the days fill with normal temperatures of low 80's, (or better yet - 70's we wish), the blue sky lasts forever as it organizes the clouds for its latest show. We finish some yard work and walk away tiredly satisfied with the day.
The smoke reminds us that fire season is here, as evacuations take
place in so many areas. How grateful we are to be away from the fires, even as the smoke travels to our valley.
Rain.........didn't we talk about the rainy April & May? Oh how things change. The winds pick up with the dry weather and the breeze turns the tall green grass into instant fire starter. One of the prices we pay for living here. As we weigh the price, we count the many blessings too.
Than the very next day, comes more rain, not a lot, but what changes a day makes! So, the unusual heat wave of 80's (yikes - yes you laugh, but far too hot for us), then here we are ready to start a fire and cozy up thankful for its warmth..........24 hours......that was all. Blessed 50's, cool, cool weather. Rain to wash the smoke away.
Not enough to stop the fires, but those fighting or fleeing the fires
take a big sigh with this blessing just the same.
Tomorrow? Who knows.........but tomorrow is just that, tomorrow. A whole new day to cherish or curse. The choice is ours. Life has challenges enough without us adding to the mix.
So, we plan on cherishing tomorrow, regardless of what tomorrow
brings.
Tomorrow? What do you think.........
