Eye on the Skies

Lately I've felt like a well trained hound dog...

my eyes, ears, and nose have 

been on high alert!

High winds and RED Flag Fire Danger

keeps you on your toes when you live

out in the middle of nowhere!

I know there will be no siren or tv

news alert if some farmer sparks a

fire in these parts!  It'll be up to us

and Him to keep us on track for 

more of the same here at Sall Farm!

Lord, how did those pioneers survive the dust bowl days????

There wouldn't be enough wine in 3 counties

to keep me sane through that!

I'm happy to report the winds 

have let up and we did get a little bit of rain

to settle the dust for a day or so!

I've calmed down and unpacked my suitcase

PHEWWW!

The skies are once again 

a beautiful blue

and I can go hang out another load of laundry

(yuck!)

Thursday evening when the wind was still howling

there were grass fires to the southeast 

and storms and tornadoes brewing 

to the southwest....

last night the wind was letting

up and we stood outside and watched 

the most amazing lightning show!

Mitchell was getting pummeled with rain

and we were mesmerized by 

mother nature's fury....

that was our evening entertainment...

much better than anything on television!

Hope you are safe from the storm

and enjoying blue skies wherever you are!

this ol' hound dog is takin' a day off....

Have a super weekend,
