wildfires in Washington State.

I did see this on our national news, Klahanie. Very distressing. Hopefully the fires will subside, maybe the rain will come - soon I hope for everyone at risk or sadly, the people who’ve suffered it’d be too late I guess,
Sending best wishes and hopefully this will end soon, with no more tragedy.
Wishing you well too.

Thanks for your kind words Kate. Luckily no major fires in this Island. Just lots of smoke.

oh heck sorry to see this , saw news other day and it looked terrible , pray for fires to cease and things to clear , it's a bad situation and best wishes from me also , stay safe .

How dreadful for you Klahanie.I had seen the fires on the news.How worrying for you and your family.
Under normal circumstances you have an idyllic view.Pray that the fires subside.Stay safe.

I also saw the reports of the fires on our news. That is so worrying on so many levels.
You do right to stay in out of the smoke. take care of your self.

I feel so sorry for the people caught up in these wild fires. Were they started by nature or careless humans? I know some of the fires we had last summer were deliberate. I just don't understand the mind set of some people.

Such a beautiful place to live.

I do hope that very soon the view will be back again and the smoke filled air will have dispersed and that it doesn't happen again.

I have a friend on a gardening group in FB , she has put photo's on of the sky where she lives , San Francisco, it was a really weird yellow, like smog, she said its terrible as regards breathing...

Thank you all for your kind words and sympathy. All west coast is affected. It is really sad situation.
I do not know how it started and if it can be contained any time soon. We desperately need rain.

We have couple of GOY friends in California. I wonder how they cope with this smoke.

Sorry to hear about this, I knew about the fires but didn't realise what an effect they had on surrounding areas. I hope they can somehow be controlled and extinguished very soon.

All these natural disasters are quite shocking at the moment. They seem to be coming one after the other in different parts of the world. I hope you have a rapid return of your beautiful view.

I've been watching this on the news but didn't realise it had got as far as you Klahanie. On one news cast it showed the air and sky as orange from the fires. Devastating for the people who've lost their homes and everything they own and there are some that have lost their lives. Very sad.

Yes, we are still in thick of it.
Thank you for your comments.

I have about 40 tomato plants in the open......started late as an experiment. I have never grown tomatoes before. I wonder if they like pure carbon. They definitely will not get any sun for few days to come. A week ago the forecast said warm and sunny for at least 3 more weeks so I hoped that I might see few ripened.

Will see what tomorrow brings.(...Sigh)

I cannot imagine what it must be like for all of you, my heart goes out to all the people living in all these places, makes me so very thankful to be here , you stay safe Klahanie x

Thank you Lincslass .

I hope you are wearing a respirator. That can't be good. Hope it clears up soon.

I've hardly went outside past week, It should be clear on Saturday....the weather station says. Hope they are right.

I hope it is clearing up there, stay safe Klahanie.
