I hope that fire gets under control soon - I'm sure your air quality is poor and I know how unnerving it is when those fires get close.

I do love how bright green it is in your photos.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-57557162431739111272015-07-23T21:22:19.747-07:002015-07-23T21:22:19.747-07:00Yikes!
