the other day,  and i haven't gotten back that far yet,  Linda of Summertimes commented about how i used to say….barring the Unforseen….a lot.  Then,  something changed and the Unforseen just became how it is.  Just became the new now.  And i liked that a lot and still,  want to get back to it,  and to Thank her for bring that up.

and for today,  at least,  the Toad can have his flag.   

There are several Fires in California,  like maybe 300.  It's how it is in California in the summers.  Right now there is a fire called the Wall Fire.   Began burning Friday night and into Saturday and into today.  This morning it was 7 miles from The Hill.  They went to see what they could find out but were turned back with little information.  The area was closed off.  Evacuated.  

so anything else i can say here is just my imagination and speculation.  Fire does what it will.  almost like an Entity.  I think today of it as like a Dragon.  Hungry.  Unpredictable.

so there is not much use in saying anything more.  Me or YOU.  What it is will be what it is.  And we don't know that right now.  So…today the Toad can have its flag.

    in the mid 80’s when our 100 acre communal property was used as a backburn to stop a big fire that was coming over the ridge in the property behind us we stayed awake for three days and nights putting out the fires, I aged ten years in those three days… regularly mown firebreaks near each of the houses saved them

    This toad of yours reminds me of one I was fortunate to observe a couple of days go on the morning sun terrace as I was enjoying breakfast. There was small movement and he hopped criss cross around my feet and legs, deciding in which direction he should hop…..eventually he headed for the shade under a table. I blinked my eyes and he was gone
