And then we had this thunderstorm and the forest lit on fire and all of a sudden we were the number one priority fire in the nation. I haven't had to evacuate - I'm about 10-15 miles from the nearest blaze - but my friends have. That and the entire Rogue Valley, because of this inversion layer, was filled with smoke that got up to nearly 290 ppm with particulates. It was pea soup!
Early on in the fire, you can see we still have sun and sky with some smoke hovering above the Valley floor well out of range of our lungs.
So I'm stuck inside for two weeks with some amazing "refugees" or "evacuees" and we got to crafting. I made some cute quilt tops and started some other projects because when it's winter in July ya gotta get crafting! what do you do when you're house bound? does a stay-cation sound like an ideal vacation to you?
