I was intrigued with our tall sunflowers silhouetted behind our Roman shade, as the sun set behind them.

Thank you! I really appreciated your sunny sunflower poem. We are subsumed again with smoke from more lightning-generated forest fires!

For now–the smoke is pretty bad, even from a distance. It’s not close to us, but noxious nonetheless. . .I’ll get out later. 🙂

Um. . .not really. 🤔 I appreciate your thoughts and your asking. We can’t know how long the fires will burn. They are so big and so many!

Are they a regular occurrence where you are?

The fires are caused by lightning, and thunderstorms are a fairly regular summer occurance here. It’s grassland, semi-arid steppe.

Crews are fighting the fires, but it’s been hard to gain on them. . .The smoke still prevails, not surprisingly. Thanks for asking!
