Staying home

Ash! Another reason to stay home. First the virus, then the outrageous heat and now the ash. We’re 20 miles from the fires (both east and west of us) but our son lives within an evacuation zone in Monrovia. We all are listening closely to news updates!

Had to look on google maps to see where you were Lois...a bit too close to danger there...hope all settles down without any danger to anyone but you do think of all the wild life too. Beautiful flowers with no ash damage!

@happypat Thanks Pat, We’re hoping the fires can be contained soon! I took this photo last week before the wild fires and ash.

As Pat did I also had to look it up. I hope everyone stays safe!

@jacqbb Thanks! We live between the El Dorado Fire and the Bobcat Fire.
