How Smokey Is It?
There are over 240 fire personnel working the Horse Creek fire, burning on the Big Piney Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest. After seeming to be more in control yesterday it grew to 1200 acres Monday. By late afternoon it was very smoky here. There are photos on www.pinedaleonline.com if you want to look.
Today was windy and fairly cool and needed a jacket this evening. The photos above show the smoke, but also how much the hay has grown. Its not looking too bad. This morning soaked my feet for a pedicure while I did the email. The pedicure Shelly gave me sure got me spoiled in a hurry to want to go back to her instead of doing it myself. Maybe next time. I will probably spend the money instead on that garden cart. Have been painting this afternoon.
The moths, which I'm sure came from tent caterpillars - I had a bunch of them on my shrubs. they were ordinary brown ones. I'm surprised they were only swarming that one night, and not since. I've never see that before.
A bit of trivia since I don't have much news: Dates in rather peculiar juxtaposition this Monday include Custer's Last Stand at Little Big Horn; National Forgiveness Day; and Leon Day, which tells us that Leon spelled backward is Noel, we are just six months away from Christmas, and we should shop early this year. I will try forgiveness, but probably won't shop until the last minute.
