Heat & More Smoke!

The Sacramento area is once again dealing with smoke from the Northern California wildfires. This time it is accompanied by oppressive heat. It was 108º here yesterday! It isn't unusual for us to have a few REALLY HOT days every summer. But the smoke is a new and unwelcome addition to the mix!

This photo was taken off our back deck yesterday afternoon. The weather is so fickle, that a slight breeze will come up and clear things just a little, then it stops and the smoke filters back into our valley and just lays here!

I have been able to stay inside, but today I have to be out in this stuff a couple of times. Just walking out to the detached garage or to the garbage cans starts the eyes burning! Even my neighbors cattle which are never very energetic, seem lethargic.*Ü*

Today will be cooler, 105º, and the local weather guy (who is pretty right-on most of the time) predicts we're going to get some clearing of the smoke and cooling into the 90's this weekend. It can't happen to soon for me!

All prayers and positive thoughts for an end to these awful wildfires are greatly appreciated!
