This and that

 


Amanda and Tom took these pictures of the turkey and deer that hang around the house.  Their kids are growing up fast. A peaceful place to bring the wild family right in town.

I put that alarming fire picture on the blog and should give an update. It wasn't that close to Twisp, but looked like it because of the size.  Apparently you could see the plume from parts of western Washington.

Unless you are a Facebook addict, it's hard finding real-time fire news. And the situation changes constantly.  The fires are burning around Mazama and northwest of Winthrop and there have been evacuations. But none of the towns are threatened so far, thank goodness. 

Firefighters are trying to set up lines to protect property, but in remote areas the fires will probably smolder until the snow arrives in the high country. Usually October. A depressing thought because the smoke hangs in the Valley.  Unless the situation get worse, we still plan to go next week for a few nights.
