There is a huge fire on the Uncompahgre Plateau. It’s on the Montrose side, but only 32 miles from us.
We are safe—lots of forests, canyons, etc. between us and the fire—but still….
Rain! COME ON RAIN!

That is the only thing they are good for….a chance to see the sun in the smoke.

Looks like our evening skies, but for different reasons. They still fire the cane here and there before cutting it, and the favourite time is early evening because the wind has died down. We get some spectacular ‘fire sunsets’, and a suggestion of burned caramel on the breeze…

Freshly cut cane smells like a cross between brown sugar, cut grass and a tiny hint of vinegar. It’s a unique smell. Burning the cane before you cut it adds a smoky note.

It would be very interesting to watch the harvest
