It’s ba-a-ack!

At about 7 this evening I stepped out to do some evening watering since the temperature is so high. We’re going through another four or five day heat wave and some of the plants have to be watered in the morning and the evening. The first thing I became aware of was the smell of smoke. Another fire is burning north of us, on both sides of Highway 140, the Yosemite Highway near Mariposa. So far it’s a day old and about a thousand acres and only 5% contained. It is threatening around 400 homes near an area called Midpines. We’re going to be having this kind of stuff clear through November this year, the prognosticators say. Doughts stink.
