Lots Done Yesterday

 I can finish the landscaping this week if the weather holds, and it looks like it will. The effect will be quite pleasing, at least to me. And what I think is all that matters.

Yet Another Warm Day

 Yes, it will be warm but also very dry and rather windy, and that's a bad combination. The fires rage on, as far as I know. I have plenty of quality time outdoors and have gotten some good ideas for the modest landscaping I'd like to do this year. 

Everything I had on my to-do list yesterday got accomplished. 

Another Warm Day

 Warm but not hot. I like that a lot. Wind could be a problem, however. I'll do some work outside and later I will just enjoy being outside. Partly cloudy right now. Panhandle blazes continue and wind today might make them even worse. A terrible situation, for sure. 

Still Burning

 The headlines ignore it now, but the fires in the panhandle are still not contained and still doing terrible damage. One has moved into Oklahoma, and there are two known fatalities. Livestock losses are devastating. But now it's old news. That fast. On to the next thing. Short attention spans. 

Yesterday morning we had snow and sleet, but not very much. It stayed cold and cloudy all day. Today, plenty of sunshine and probably another record high. That will feel very good. The weekend should be rather nice, except for wind. 

Terrible Fire

 Probably a million acres burned by this time, in total, by the various wildfires north of us. Terrible to think of the suffering, both human and animal. It's been very dry up there. I shouldn't say "human and animal" because we are only another species of animal. All suffering is animal suffering. And all behavior is animal behavior.
