Hi Everyone,
I just logged on to the Internet at the library up at the cabin. I was shocked to see how bad the fire in Sonoma is. There is also a new one, near the 405 freeway. Yikes! My cottage is about fifteen miles from the latest fire. The wind is what makes it so dangerous. My friend in Australia also posted photos of horrific fires there.
My neighbors said that things had calmed down a couple of days ago. The roads had reopened, and people were going to Trader Joe's and Stater Brothers, stocking up on staples and groceries. We weren't sure how long it would last, though. They told me that the air is like an ashtray or bbq, and recommended that I just stay up here in the mountains.
I feel safer up here, but am still going to pack a bag, and keep in touch with what's happening, just in case.
Lula and I took an amazing hike on the Pacific Crest Trail this morning. I stumbled onto an incredible campsite. I sat at picnic tables there and had a tuna sandwich and some fruit. Lula munched on dog biscuits.
I hope everyone in California and Oz has a safe place to go. I plan to call my neighbors again and see how things are going. I was planning to return today, but have decided to stay put. I appreciate your concern, and hope that you all are doing well. I will try to get to your blogs soon. I have had a lot of messages to answer from friends. I'm sorry for the delay.
