Ah


A comfortable house is a great source of happiness. 
It ranks immediately after health and a good conscience.
Sydney Smith

Home sweet home. I don't have much to write this morning because yesterday all I did was many loads of laundry, vacuumed, dusted, made granola and then got out the weed-eater in the afternoon.  Oh yes, and cut some lovely flowers for the house.  The garden is beautiful from all the rain.  We had one day of sun and 70 degrees, but today go back to cool temperatures and rain.  Amanda, Tom and Nova are camping out on the coast and the new tent will be christened with rain tonight.

If only we could share this moisture with Colorado.  My dad told me this morning that the authorities are setting up an evacuation center at the high school in Cripple Creek, so their little town high in the mountains isn't in danger now. But this fire has made everyone realize that the unthinkable does happen.  And of course we are anxious about relatives and friends with property in harm's way.  Hopefully today will be a turning point in fighting this awful fire.
