Boomer and I were out working on the farm when I noticed a huge amount of smoke in the San Juan area
After getting home I looked it up on the Fire Map…They are calling it the Cow Creek Fire
I have no idea what started it.
Scary to be having fires this time of year.

Although, we had a sprinkling of rain yesterday. We are still extremely dry.
So dry that wind rushing throughout the farm creates terrible dust, which settles on everything and everyone until it settles down (again).
Yesterday morning, early, lightning and thunder rushed upon us from the Uncompahgre Plateau, thunder rolled, long and loud, and lightning forked across the heavens.
It was a fast-moving storm. Crackling and jabbing toward the earth in flashes of silver and gold. Leaving behind in it wakes a fire burning on the edge of Fruitland Mesa, directly in line with Crawford, Colorado
Colorado (as many parts of the west) is just tooooo dry!
But last evening…. as more rain showers played along the edges of the farm— We saw a rainbow!
A huge joy to me!
From my heart to your world,
Linda
