Ou world is on fire on all sides. There are 8 fires burning in our state right now. Such devastation all around and yet beauty through the smoke and haze. Fingers crossed for the 4th of July fireworks celebrations.
Bonnie, I'm so sad that the fire has come so close to home for you. It's been hard to see so many touched by this terrible force this year. It certianly is one for the history books-- and we're only into summer by 1/3! It's strange how beautiful the sunsets have been with all the smoke, somehow we're to have a silver lining with this. Take care!
Oh dear Bonnie, that looks awful! My town has cancelled all fire works this year which is fine with me since I am working nights tonight and on the 4th. I will keep you in my prayers and hope for rain in Utah. before we know it ,it will be snowing.....
I knit, garden, bake, and sew. I create something every day, even if it's just a mess in my kitchen.
“I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.” ― Marjorie Pay Hinckley
Oh, I am praying and praying for the firefighters. Two of our fires are contained. Happy 4th to you!
