Fire Season Again!


I can't believe that fire season is here again! I remember last year's very well, because Aedyn was still a newborn and Amber and Hugh were still here with us. Low Humidity, rising temperatures, and howling Santa Ana winds is nature's perfect recipe for fire disaster. As I went on my errand to Target yesterday the skies over Simi were daunting, full of billowing smoke and orange glows.Yesterday the fire at Porter Ranch was thought to spread to the north end of Simi Valley, so we were ready for dark skies. Shane actually had to come home early because they had shut down the freeway, and were considering shutting down the only other freeway that gets you into Simi. But, this morning everything is pretty calm here, slight breeze. Of course fires are still burning all over Southern California.
