Tomorrow we pack up and head off for Ghost Ranch, returning Sunday. So, lots to do today ... the usual packing and preparing the house for our absence, finishing up the FeVa Fotos material we're going to take with to display (and hopefully sell) at Ghost Ranch and loading it, plus some work I still have to do for the FCNL (Friends Committee on National Legislation) activities I'll be involved with at Yearly Meeting.
We're still impacted by ... and fearful of ... the fires raging to the west of us in Arizona; everything is tinder dry here. Night before last we got 20 drops of rain ... and along with it lightning that set off a number of small, local fires that were easily suppressed. It may be another month before the monsoons arrive.
In the meantime, life goes on. The "house croc" clambers over the walls and Mr. and Mrs. Curve-Billed Thrasher serve their nestlings ... all looking for bugs. Be well, all! tv

It is very unusual for Az to have wildfires, isn't it? We've been watching on TV..looks awful.
No, Cathy, not really. They've had some very big fires in recent years, in the White Mountains and along the eastern edge of AZ, where the fires are now. Drought, tree-killing bugs, etc., all combine to present an opportunity for holocausts of various sizes. This is a big one, and rains aren't predicted for weeks yet.
