Came as no surprise, the winter and spring having been so dry.
Woke up, put my leg on, let LB out for a pee and immediately got a big snootful of woodsmoke. As the sun came up it did so through thick haze. Haven’t checked the news but they’re so common in the dry season they don’t usually even make the news, but it’s clear there’s a big grass fire in the prairie land upwind of us.
It’s a problem that keeps some folks indoors with their sinuses all messed up. Fortunately it’s rarely a big problem at the Secret Lair except right now the smoke is so thick it’s affecting the solar panels. Really may as well be cloudy.
So glad to read about you getting up and not having to go down that ladder – or go up it either. What a life and safety improvement to your Hermit lifestyle the addition is
Between the addition and the help from BB you are living at a comfort and safety level that hardly seemed possible 10 years ago. Goodonya. I am so encouraged by your constant work and success.
