this morning there was no update on the Fire,  known as the Potters Fire,  600 acres.  20% contained by late evening.   This morning down to the Wall Garden and me thinking that because of the excessive heat,  i was given an excuse,  but the fire said NO EXcUSE,  so i dragged down some fencing  and positioned it and during that,  blood…i have very thin skin…every scratch makes blood but there's no feeling to it

i positioned the fencing over the Bell Peppers.  had forgotten to bring down the clothespins that will hold the STUFF in place,  but i got the fencing  in place and pounded down with U nails  and bled on the Alternate Garden Dress of linen because the other one was just too  gross    to wear another day and i then bled on the linen one but ok then,  Walnut Dye.   all will be well somehow.  And i watched all the stuff about an election and i Caste my vote.   I don't so much love him,  but i trust him to be decent.  a decent human being.  right now,  that's enough.  Just decent.   Just a decent human being.

    Decent human being is a pretty important trait, especially now.
    Take care

    I hope you sleep tonight and wake up cool and refreshed (as much as possible). Is that the smoke from the fires or dawn or dusk? It looks impossible to breathe. Is there anything I can do for you? Stay safe.Once again Cal Fire is posting on twitter.

    I have been thinking of you, Grace, as fires erupt. I am glad you are prepared. I came across a bit of the orange Hawaiian shirt you sent me long ago. I am adding it to the Lost to Covid-19 panels I am slowly stitching. [i have pix on instagram, @stichr2.catinthebatt] I add fabric bits that make me smile. I have many patches to go….

    Cannot find any info on whether or not you had to evacuate i.e. reading about all of the fires on Cal Fire or reading about evacuations from your local newspaper, the Oroville Register so I am going to assume that you are on the Hill and that all is ok…BUT if it should come that you need to go or have gone, know that we all believe in your ability to handle whatever presents for you have always done so. Smoke may surround you but caring and love do as well…

I understand about not doing all the internet things, i go to see my kids stuff….yes they are adults, but a mama has to keep up with them, keep an eye on them. Course, now I have several grandGirls on there too….and other ‘platforms’ i don’t go to…remember when ‘platform’ meant shoes???
