All Around Us — FIRE! —- Thursday, July 17, 2025

(These were taken the day the fires started.  They’ve been going for several days now.)

There are fires all around us!  Scary fires.  Most of the smaller ones are out, but

The big ones (on the Black Canyon and over by Gateway, and close to Paradox) are still roaring on.

It’s all so terribly sad.

Word of the day: Isoliophilia: a strong preference or love for solitude. where one enjoys being alone, associated with introspection, peace, or personal space. 

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

  1. Lulu: “Our Mama and Dada have been watching the fires in Colorado on their Watch Duty app, because Mama’s family lives over near Castle Rock! Fortunately the fires are far away from them but still, they are keeping an eye on it. We hope it is all out soon!”
    Charlee: “Yeah, we don’t like fire, ever since that time we ran away from the Lilac Fire in 2017 …”
