Here Comes The Smoke

We’ve been lucky so far this summer having had little forest fire smoke.  In years past the smoke has made us miserable and today the smoke arrived.  There are fires burning in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming plus all the ones in California—we are just dang lucky the smoke hasn’t been here all summer!  Michael woke with a sore throat this morning and when I went to the kitchen to start coffee I could see why—we were sitting in a haze of smoke.  There are air quality alerts all over the state and the air smells of smoke—UGH.  If the air quality doesn’t improve we may have to find somewhere else to be!

DSCN2937Our previous schnauzer Jazz learned cattle guard walking all on her own—we had to teach Emmi but she now has it down pat!

DSCN2945Smoke does make for pretty sunsets!

barn doorsIn our Arizona home the master bathroom has a design flaw—the door opens into the bathroom and you must step inside and shut the door before getting to the toilet—definite design flaw!  I love the sliding barn door look but geez the hardware is pricey!  So—cowboy to the rescue!  He is using his lathe to create the hardware for our door—isn’t he smart!

I’ve been working on a quilt of my own and making progress—I should be able to finish quilting it tomorrow.  I have two customer quilts waiting!

  1. We have some haze over this way but not much smoke yet. However the wind is howling tonight. Feel bad for all those firefighters and people's homes.

  3. Emmi does a lot better than me walking across those cattle guards! What are the fruit in the last photo? So colorful! If edible, I bet they make a lovely jam or jelly.

  4. Hate the thought of smoke in your pretty canyon, hope it's a short visit! Emmi is very brave, she looks like she'd just drop right through. Not sure Tessa will ever get the hang of them, but then she doesn't have the daily access :-) Pretty sunset.

  5. So sorry to hear the smoke has reached you. Sure hope it moves on soon. However, the sunset was beautiful:)
