The Sun, half as bright as a car’s turn signal and just as amber-colored, is about an hour and a half from setting. It’s dark enough for automatic headlights to come on

The power of the Sun so muted by the smoke the temperature has dropped from 95* to 85*F in less than an hour

White flakes drift gently down like snow on a windless February day; ash from the Pine Creek fire

We are hoping for rain in September

So there are a few fires burning in Colorado this week. One is snowing ash on everything in Fruita, and the other has the interstate closed so all my online orders are delayed a few days

So now we’re wearing an ash mask on top of our Covid mask to stay safe. The good news is we only have to put up with this until the rainy season which maybe starts in October????? So only two months or so away
