You'd swear there was fire nearby, but it's the way the weather moves smoke around. Thankfully, we've had over 2 INCHES of rain this past week!

So sad. Praying for the firefighters as they battle those fires. I don't think it's wrong to have a positive outlook.

Loosing grass isn't as bad as loosing trees. Grass goes dormant but trees aren't as lucky. <br /><br />You always think positive even in moments like this. <br />I'm glad that you have your rugs and patterns to keep you busy. <br />One positive thing about a brown lawn, you don't need to cut the grass and save on gas. I've stopped cutting mine until the heat wave is passed. Everything is so dry but nothing like in California.<br /><br />There has been some very bad fires out west here in Canada and so many have lost their homes too.<br /><br />Prayers for the firefighters for their safety as they battle fires. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />JB<br />Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-23799185716512456172015-08-19T16:23:30.381-07:002015-08-19T16:23:30.381-07:00Kim,

Even Native Americans used to do that to avoid the chance of fire. When Dad was small the yards were dirt and trees were far from houses just because of the chance of fire. <br /><br />Do you use your "gray" water? That was also a common practice, you used your gray water to water what you needed. The soap does not hurt the plants or it didn't use to hurt them.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-29496751475862300982015-08-19T09:41:19.126-07:002015-08-19T09:41:19.126-07:00So sorry to hear of the smokey plight.
