July Sunrise Wishes

Even though words fail at a time like this, I offer my condolences to those who lost loved ones to the horrific violence that occurred in Aurora Colorado yesterday.  I hope those that were injured recover quickly, and that those who witnessed the terror find peace.

 

Rion and Toys

When Lily the Golden Retriever joined our household, I had to put dog toys out of reach because she would destroy them and possibly swallow the remains.  I didn’t feel too sorry for Rion because he viewed Lily as his toy.

Now that Lily is gone, Rion is making due with second best.  His attempts to turn Lightning the Sheltie into a toy have not been successful.

Still Watching

Early this morning, I took this photo looking south toward the site of the Waldo Canyon Fire.  There was a moderate smell of smoke, which is actually not bad, since it meant it was cool enough for the fire to lay down overnight.  Yesterday the Incident Command Team announced 45% containment.  Last night, the El Paso County Sheriff lifted the pre-evacuation notice for our area.

Although yesterday was full of good news as far as lifting evacuations and fire fighting progress, I don’t think many of us in this region will feel particularly safe until the snow flies.  However, the start of daily afternoon rains would be helpful.
