Ashes, Ashes...




There have been some really serious fires around here over the past 2 days. The fires were about 6-10 miles away but in a much more rural area. Even so, many people in these areas have lost their homes and all of their belongings. It's really sad. People were walking around wearing face masks today since the air quality is so poor. We woke up this morning to a very smoky smell and ash all over our cars, patio furniture, garbage cans, etc. (see pictures above). It looked like it was snowing-I guess that's the "snow" we get in southern California! Thankfully, the fires seem under control or gone by now.
