The horrible wildfires in California made for an extremely smokey day here in the valley. Visibility was about a mile and you could smell smoke. It did keep our temp down to about 102 tho. Cold front from the north will bring it down to 84 tomorrow . My new plants will be thankful The setting sun was a big red ball!
National Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nurses Day. Every day should be nurses day – in all fields of nursing.
National Another Look Unlimited Day. The day after Labor Day provides an opportunity for Fall cleaning. Are you feeling green? Has stuff piled up around the house since Spring cleaning time? This observance is a day dedicated to taking a look around your home and ridding it of the excess things you have accumulated. Think Spring cleaning meets Fall cleaning.It’s time to clear out the closets. Purge the attic. Donate toys and clothes. Tidy up, clean up and put to use those items that have a purpose!
National Ants on a Log Day. This day has nothing to do with ants or logs. It’s a snack made by spreading peanut butter on celery and putting raisins on top. I like raisins and peanut butter, but I am not crazy about celery, so I’ll opt out on this one.
When they return from Mousies they’ll be lucky to find their beds. Our sky was dark brown yesterday afternoon from 2 huge fires burning over the crest, a photo I put on FB had over 400 views within a few hours. High winds today, we are all on edge watching for any new starts. (I am safe from those currently burning). Yesterday the unprecedented move to shut down nearly all the national forests in California was made – all campers, hikers and lodgers were asked to leave before dark. Scary times, so much destruction with no end in sight.
Sunday had enough smoke in the air where I could only see the outline of mountains that are normally very visible. Coming home from Michigan Sunday I could only see a big gray wall as I drove westward after exiting the highway, in places where I usually can see distant peaks. Monday morning I could see a light dusting of sooty ash on the cooler I had set outside. It was on my truck too.
I’m heading back to Boston tomorrow for the first time since last November. Flights in March and May were cancelled. I’ll have to quarantine (until I get tested, which I intend to do asap) but there are four residents, four foster panthers and a mum with three one-week-old tinies to keep me entertained.
Annie should put itching powder in the beds of those two ungrateful twerps! (Sorry if that sounds mean.) On another note, saw four dragonflies, a robin, and a rabbit while out walking today.

Short sheet their beds, Annie. They deserve it!

Let them wash their own little kitty mats. In the “olden” days, they’d be scrubbing them by hand and then hanging them on the outside line.

“Anything else” was being sarcastic, Chesney. Get a clue! And make your own bed!!
